Vol 8 Chapter 753: news

"Tuck and Blanche are dead ?!"
On the fourth day after the battle, Charles II, who was in the palace, received this amazing news. He stood up from his chair on the spot, staring at the letter in front of him, as if he wanted to spit out fire: "How dare Roddy Is he blatantly going to start a war? "
There are six wizards on the royal surface. There are only four royal guards who are secretly loyal like Tucker and Blanche. It can be said that the fall of any wizard is a huge loss to the royal family.
To die two at a time is equivalent to halving the magic power of the royal family in the dark. The most important thing is that the tasks of these two people obviously failed!
Charles II was not afraid of failure, and this loss made him sad, but it did not mean crash. He only wanted to understand one thing now: how did Roddy kill two wizards who were good at fighting?
However, the letter did not give an answer, because Roddy blocked the news in a timely manner, and the letter could only find the statement that "the accident in Elson City" caused casualties.
"Sir, it's time."
The waiter came to remind him that Charles II put down the letter with haze on his face, organized his clothes with the help of the maid, and then headed for the Chamber. For the monarch, bad news came one after another in the past two days. Just sitting on the throne, he heard a disturbing news:
"The Elson Magic Exchange will extend the exchange period until May next year for special reasons."
"May next year? It will be said in a few days that this exchange meeting will be held for two years!"
Charlie II frowned and waved his hand: "Tell Crohn them directly, when they should come back, when they should come back, what really matters to Elson City?"
Charlie II, who was not in a good mood before entering the house, is obviously a sign of an outbreak today, because the situation of refugees has not been very good recently. The number of people who freeze to death and starve to death is increasing every day, and it looks shocking. He rubbed his eyebrows and continued to ask, "Yes, this exchange will say a special reason. Didn't say what was the reason?"
"His Majesty, the source of this news is" The Karen Times ", and they said that the news will be announced in the near future." Count Deweyden said hesitantly, adding: "However, I listened to some small news because the dragons participated in the exchange. meeting…"
"Dragon?"
Charles II did not respond, and asked along the way: "What happened to the Dragons? The participation of the Dragons will make the exchange longer?"
Speaking of which, he realized that he had exposed the shortcomings of the common sense of the magic world. If you think about it, as a powerful and transcendental ethnic group, the Dragons have always been separated from the human world since they had human civilization. I have never heard of the head of any human country having any connection with the dragon family. The most commonly heard are the "dragon myths" that are overly profane.
But their non-participation in human activities does not mean that these guys can be ignored. Prior to the establishment of the Kingdom of Karen, rumors about dragons were not all fictitious. Dragons often came forward when they were involved in high-level battles: Charles II worked hard to recall, and immediately remembered that the magicians in the early days of the country seemed to be with the dragons. There was contact, and there was awe in the conversation.
The wizards who could have contact with the Dragons at the beginning were all top talents, which led to people later using the "Dragons to communicate" as a symbol of strength. However, in the past thirty years, the Karen Kingdom has never had a similar thing. As for Charles II after becoming the monarch, he almost forgot the importance of it.
"You said that the Dragons participated in the exchange meeting. This should be just a gimmick."
When Charles II considered for a moment, he thought about how to deal with this wording: "Sometimes this kind of diplomatic rhetoric is alarmist. Like the folk stories of dragon-slaying, no matter how brave the hero's heroism is, the actual situation is often They all happened to pass by the dragon's body, taking the credit. "
He paused, and there was a sound of approval in the Chamber, many people were relieved, apparently coincident with the idea of ​​Charles II.
Then someone came out to add:
"Your Majesty, this guy Rodi is the best at making trivia. Now that he has" The Karen Times "in his hand, we have to admit that ordinary people are often blinded. This means ... if a dragon tribe just passes by Elson City to borrow After saliva drinking, they will brazenly call it 'the dragons participated in the exchange meeting', and use this to publicize it. "
Charles II nodded, apparently agreeing with this view, and then worried: "Our newspaper can't give up this position. It was a step too late. Now that the bad results have appeared ... no matter how hesitant, it will become very passive in the future."
Count Milno had previously written several newspapers in order to compete with Roddy, but he ended up because of poor content and downfall. Charles II later realized that the position of public opinion was important, and reassigned Viscount Dels to make the Royal Weekly, and now things are getting better.
"Your Majesty, Roddy's tactics are very high, but this lie is not tenable at all! As long as you investigate, you can list the flaws."
The Viscount heard the emperor's words and hurried out the list to be faithful. Charles II nodded with satisfaction: "The content of these days must be criticized around this matter. I don't want the people in the kingdom to be fascinated by that guy."
He did n’t understand what
public opinion building
was, but he gradually realized the horror of controlling public opinion: it was just a bunch of words and information that were regularly updated, and he easily controlled the brains of ordinary people. What the people believe ... It's much more powerful than those spiritual spells.
With such a tune, the ministers began to plan in the direction of Charles II. After the meeting, the follow-up measures were basically confirmed, which made his bad mood much better.
Some tired Charles II returned to the study after the meeting. He closed his eyes for a long time, but found that his heart had not been completely settled, because what Roddy had done in these years, whether true or false, was full of elusiveness. Impervious meaning. When I recall hearing this guy's name for the first time, the other party killed an amazing number of orcs as scouts.
So, is it possible that the dragon race will participate in the exchange meeting? Is it 1 in 10,000? Really?
He thought for a while, got up and asked the royal scholar to turn over all the files in the Kingdom history book that involved the Dragons, which took a whole day. By the next day, Charles II read the limited dozen pages of text records in the early morning sun.
From this, he finally had a comprehensive and clear understanding of the Dragons. Now looking at the seemingly inconspicuous event of the "Dragon participation in the exchange meeting", he suddenly realized that this not only showed the Dragon's friendly attitude towards humanity, but also represented an identity.
If everything is true, it will no longer be a "political trend", but a thorough "political storm"!
Because the Dragons have always only dealt with the most powerful countries or forces on the mainland, now they go to Elson without coming to their own palace, which means the meaning is self-evident ...
"He doesn't have that ability."
Charles II's hand holding the dossier was trembling, but no matter how he thought, Roddy had nothing to do with the Dragons. He comforted himself like this, put down the book, got up and walked to the fireplace to prepare the fire for heating. Just when the waiter sent today's newspaper, his gaze was fixed, and he reached out and took out "The Karen Times". The printing of a newspaper is completely different from the past: the only handwriting on the head is the "Carron era", and the cover, which is always covered with text, is replaced by a whole picture.
The ring-shaped conference hall inside a magic tower is displayed on the entire cover. The exquisite pictures are by no means hand-painted by the artist. Whether it is the lines of clothing, the expressions of the characters, or even the expression, it is definitely called "the perfection". The talented Charles II would appreciate oil paintings, but any outstanding work would not be judged by "painting like or not".
But the picture in front of me made people feel like they were at the meeting.
At a glance, Charles II recognized the magic teachers such as Crohn sitting in the front row. The little famous mages behind were all behind the seat. The stance was like a magic apprentice listening to the teacher's speech ... In the center of the picture, a gentle middle-aged man is standing, smiling and spreading his arms, apparently telling the mages around him.
The newspaper was black and white, but the robe style of this mage's very different style still caused Charles II to frown, and he took a closer look, and suddenly found that there were two horns on the other side of the head!
He felt that it was difficult to breathe all of a sudden, his shaking fingertips opened the cover, and finally the text title appeared on the second page:
"Elsen City warmly welcomes Frost Dragon Lord Victor to the Magic Exchange and gives a speech!"
Charlie II almost didn't breathe in a breath ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Staring at the following content, spending ten minutes reading it three times, trying to find a trace of forgery or vagueness ...
It turns out that this is a complete "dry cargo" report: The Frost Dragons made a high-profile announcement of a visit to Elson City, gave a short speech at the exchange, and also stated that "there will be a follow-up Friendly cooperation for consultations! "
The article specifically stated that the cover picture was not hand-painted, but was "photographed" by another Frost Dragon Kardashian's "Ice Mirror" spell scene.
A great sense of weakness shrouded Charles II. He felt that the sounds in his ears gradually drifted away from something like himself. When he didn't understand it, he would develop a ridiculous self-confidence. However, after a deep understanding, the cold that penetrates the bone marrow is difficult for others to appreciate.
"Why ... is he?"
Charlie II turned the cover and stared at the "live photo". He slumped back into the armchair, and then forcefully turned the newspaper into a ball and threw it into the fireplace ...
