Vol 6 Chapter 94: 1 quarter

The empty hall of the Knights, only the complacent Brandon de Salion sitting on the throne, tilting his head with Erlang's legs, the whole person was stuck in the chair.
Of course, there were also dark-haired wizards sitting opposite him who were equally embarrassed.
"That ... Someone who appeared suddenly, His Royal Highness, don't you think you should explain?"
A dark-haired wizard who seems to be smiling, with a twist in his expression.
"Explain, explain? Dear Wizard Advisor, I'm saving you ... well, to save us two accurately."
Leaning comfortably on the chair, the empress's righteous expression, "Why don't you understand?" , Plus Grandpa Metternich Leopold, our old and not-so-loving minister of the Great Seal! "
"I have experienced so many hardships and dangers, life and death crisis, almost lost my life a few times, and lost face in front of the dukes of the whole empire ... and my wizard consultant, I only want my explanation. '... It's too ruthless, isn't it? "
Watching Brandon curled up in his chair dancing and twitching, and sighing all over the sky, the dark-haired wizard sighed and pressed his temple tiredly.
Haven't seen him for so many years, have you almost lost your immunity against Brandon?
"Information from two minutes ago-the little of Nolan Odd, turned to Connor." With a flirty smile in his mouth, Brandon snapped his fingers: "The two big bad guys are preparing to meet in the Knights The purpose of singing the double reed is to block the mouth of all the dukes, so that Connor can be crowned as the emperor of the empire without any hindrance. "
"In this way, Connor no longer owes us a little humanity, and he can even press us with a big righteousness-but any small action can be used by this guy to use the name of" destroying the sacred anti-invasion war of the empire " Knead. "
The dark-haired wizard raised his eyebrows, his eyes fixed.
Sure enough ... as expected.
Seeing Loren's thoughtful expression, Brandon was even more proud, muttering as if to himself: "So ... I knew at the moment I got the information that something was wrong; there was no intention of thinking Under the circumstances, you are certainly not the opponent of the beloved Connor. "
"So I shot decisively and used my shame to save our resourceful, particularly confident wizard advisor and His Excellency Duke Byrne-and then most importantly, when I saw Connold's destruction of his plan by me, that The anger is bad and he can't say it; I tell you that face ... absolutely. "
"..." Loren Turin.
But then again, although Brandon ’s approach was very excessive, the impact and damage caused by it were much talked about-the name of the embarrassing prince was already in the empire, and now he just exploded the ceiling of this hall. , I am afraid that people who hear it will not be too surprised.
I'm out of cards, but if you want to continue playing your tricks, I don't mind playing with you without a limit.
You want to keep me out of the game table with rules and traditions, and I also have a way to break in; nothing else, because I have what you do n’t, because I have what you do n’t.
Because you dare not kill me.
The crimson hair was messed up, and the still-loving prince was still sitting proudly on the throne belonging to the emperor, feeling the comfort of the moment:
"I do n’t care about Connor, I do n’t even care about the empire, anyway, they never care about my life and death in the past ... only one thing, I have to get what I deserve, otherwise ... hey? Aunt Fitlow, you Why is it coming? "
Following the look of surprise in Brandon's eyes, the black-haired wizard looked back. In front of the door of the knights' hall, there was an extraordinarily chic figure like a knight, who was holding the sword and looked at them coldly.
"Wow, this is a pleasant surprise! Dear Aunt Fitrone, it ’s so beautiful to see you for so many years ... You do n’t know, these three years in Poi made me think day and night, every I stayed alone all night, empty and lonely and cold ... "
"Loren Turin."
Fitronai de Salion spoke coldly, and by the way, he avoided a shameless prince's unimaginable "volley flutter", "Poof!", Making his more unimaginative face come first. .
"Connold wants to see you, now."
She raised her head, so calm that she stared at the dark-haired wizard without emotion, motionless.
"Only Loren? Hey ... My dear brother, it's really too much home." Brandon, who was still lying on the ground and holding his body, made a sound without raising his head: "In order to see him, I have actively exposed By the way, I still pretended not to see me, but it was too ... "
"Hurry up and decide, this is the last chance." Fitronai, as always, has no emotion: "Empire ... I don't have so much time to spare."
Connor ... Is it still impossible to sit still?
"That's just ... the empire is almost on the verge of life and death. At this time we should be united; Loren Turin, my best friend, tells Aunt Fitroney, unless Connor invites us both at the same time. no way……"
"Okay, I'm going by now, alone."
The calm-haired dark-haired wizard nodded and accepted readily.
Ignoring a certain still lying on the ground, with a face of grievance resembling a zombie like a humiliated prince, Loren stood up decisively and walked out of the main entrance without looking back.
The expressionless long princess stood on the spot until the dark-haired wizard walked out of the gate before turning around and stepping away.
"Snapped!"
A hand stretched out on the ground squeezed Fitlonay's ankle.
"Don't go, please, please don't go."
The motionless Fitlonai neither resisted nor agreed.
"I know how I came in ... If Aunt Fitronai had not lifted the night watchman's blockade in the Sky Dome, someone would stop me as soon as he reached the door." Brandon slowly climbed up from the ground, his tone With a smile:
"In a little while, Brother Connaughter will surely be aware of it too-right now, why would you take this risk for me, aunt?"
"I didn't take risks for you, I just ..."
"No need to explain, just stay, just stay for a while." Brandon's tone grew lighter from ankle to wrist: "Aunt Fitronai can be used to contain Brandon de Salion-yes Dear brother, this is a good deal. "
With a low hum, Her Royal Highness said nothing more.
……………………………………………
"A quarter of an hour, Loren Turin, I only have a quarter of an hour."
In the narrow cloakroom next to the hall of the Knights, Connor de Salion, who was sitting in the dim candlelight, frowned slightly, his elbows were supported on the armrests of the chair, and his crossed ten fingers stretched out, pointing behind the black wizard door:
"Just outside this door, the Minister of the Great Seal and the imperial nobles behind him have been waiting for a long time. From the day I arrived, they urged me to be crowned as soon as possible, and promised that they would not harm their interests;"
"And different voices have begun to appear outside the Sky Dome. Someone has begun to question why the Royal Family and Sky Dome still do nothing so long after the first emperor was assassinated;"
"Outside the country gate, the Azores will launch an invasion at any time; as you said, we don't know when it will start, but it must be fast;"
"Now I do n’t have any spare time to keep you and Brandon going on fooling around, and I do n’t want to see it again. You use this rule-breaking way to fight for your so-called benefits, delusion that you can Take advantage of this confusion and take a slice. "
"So ... I give you a quarter of an hour, the last quarter of the hour we have in common." Connor, who looked so solemn, said in an irrefutable tone:
"In addition to any requirements you have, tell me now that I will officially announce it at the meeting of the Royal Sword Knights, and it will not be changed again."
The dark-haired wizard looked indifferent, staring at the pair of eyes that seemed to wish to pierce the heart and cut open the whole person, his expression slightly changed.
"What do I ... want?"
"Don't pretend to be stupid, because I really don't have time, Loren Turin ... come up with your terms." Connor's voice was very cold: "You want to use the imperial declaration to suppress me, and under my command There are spies buried in the night watchman-do n’t think I do n’t know, otherwise why did Brandon 'appear' so quickly? "
"In the past, I may have the energy to continue playing with you, watching you unscrupulously destroy the traditions and customs of the empire; but now ... I have an empire waiting for me to save; and want to save this empire, I need the knight and wealth of Byrne; I even need the dragon to be able to boost the morale of the empire when necessary! "
Loren was startled, and quietly raised the corner of his mouth with a thoughtful expression.
"So ... do you need us?"
Connor had a meal, and Tie Qing's face seemed to endure his anger.
"We need each other." Connold said coldly again: "So make your price tag and tell me how much it will cost to make the knight of Byrne ... swear allegiance to their emperor?"
"The knights of Byrne will never betray the empire and their emperors. I thought the tenth generation of" Black Duke "has already proved this point." Loren shrugged and smiled meaningfully:
"The question is ... Which emperor are they loyal to?"
Looking at the black-haired wizard who seemed to be smiling, the look of His Royal Highness became stronger.
"Just saying this is enough to go against it." Connor narrowed his eyes and said in a heavy tone: "So in the eyes of the" loyal and honest "Byr Knight, is loyalty also classified?"
"No, it's the same in their eyes, but it's not the same in my eyes." The black-haired wizard who was staring at him, his expression was still calm: "And I believe that what you want is not only their loyalty, but also There is mine ... By the way, use the loyalty of Byrne, Arles, and Elleman to threaten others to be loyal to you. "
That ’s right, you and I have seen the double reed play by the Duke of Arles, so save it, we do n’t have any cards in hand now; but the problem is that you have to deal with more than me, but I still have A high-end Brandon with no limit to doing anything.
But Connold's face remained the same, very calm, not even as if he had a depressed expression of anger.
Sure enough, Lena, Brandon, Connold ... De Salion's family are all real actors.
"So ... how much do I have to pay to get the loyalty of Duke Byrne himself?"
Looking at Connor, who finally stopped acting, the dark-haired wizard also calmed his smile.
Since the price is to be raised, of course, the lion must first open his mouth and try to test the other party's bottom line.
"Want to get my loyalty? It ’s simple ... give me absolute freedom to interfere with any military actions of Byrne; in addition, crowning Brandon as Prince of East Sackland and having no heir to you or heir to adulthood Before, he was the first crown prince of the empire. "
This requirement is harsh, almost directly telling Connord, we will wait for you to die and then control the entire empire; so Loren does not think he will accept ...
"Yes, no problem!" Connord cut off, not changing his face: "Is there any?"
Ok? !
He, he, he ... he was too happy to overshoot? !
Under such harsh conditions, I agreed without thinking? !
"Look at your expression, it should be gone, right? Very good." Connor squinted his eyes, and the crimson pupil exuded a sharp luster:
"Then in return, I need Bayern to pay a quarter of the tax, including food and logistics supplies to support the war, and the Bayern army should not spend the empire."
"Also, I can confide Brandon as Prince of East Sakland and heir to the first rank, and guarantee that he will succeed the throne after my death; but Fitlonai must be the second heir. Have any objections; "
"Furthermore, as the last dragon-controller of the empire, Brandon must go to Mount Jufeng again and implore the dragon to join this war and follow their original promise." With an unquestionable tone, Connor coldly said:
"This is his right and his duty-we need dragons, otherwise the empire will not be able to face two full-scale wars of this scale at the same time once the northern monsters take advantage of the opportunity to invade."
"If you can agree to these conditions for Brandon, then we can reach an agreement that will benefit both parties."
The dark-haired wizard thought about it ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Judging from the conditions exchanged between the two sides, it is not too harsh; Brandon should be able to be willing, as for a quarter of taxes and logistics ... to deal with the next War, bleeding is a must.
After all, Byrne is in the south, and the probability of encountering war is minimal. It costs a lot of money in exchange for stability in the northern war. It can be said that it is very cost-effective.
"Yes, I will convince Brandon." Sighing, Loren raised his eyebrows: "So ... when are you going to hold your own coronation ceremony?"
"tomorrow."
Ok? Loren was startled.
"tomorrow?!"
"Yeah, tomorrow ... I told Metternich that I can persuade all of you within today to hold the coronation ceremonies tomorrow--and there will be five minutes. In five minutes, Archbishop Innocent will come to discuss the ceremony Process issues. "
Connor raised his head, his natural expression resembled Eckhart II, and there were several "rogues" with Langdon:
"I said, I only have a quarter of an hour."
