Vol 6 Chapter 161: Threaten

After resolving the commotion caused by the dragon, the dark-haired wizard in the cheers and embraces, and surrounded by the wings of the sky, rushed back to the Red Blood Palace.
What the onlooker Byrne Knight and the people saw was that his own duke stood alone against the dragon symbolizing the empire and achieved "victory".
The fierce and fierce dragon "succumbed" to the Duke's inviolable majesty, and after bowing to the Duke salute--if that action could really be called a "salute"-leaved into the sky.
Even the dragon symbolizing the empire has such respect for our duke;
what does this mean?
Does this mean that in the eyes of the dragons, the Turin family is as noble as the blood of the Dessaion family?
But the dragon did not leave, hovering over the Red Blood Castle ... what does that mean?
Does this also mean that our Duke, like the Dessalines family, has reached some kind of agreement with the dragon-does it mean that from now on, the Turin family will also have the same status as the royal family and become "dragon controlers" Qualifications?
If the Turin family can also become dragon masters, is it possible to go further ...
The Bayern people are passionate about mythology, worship heroes, and feel that they live in a world of legendary stories all the time-often as long as they have a little "thought", they can write the rest of the story themselves.
The Bayerns, immersed in some kind of ecstasy and delusion, were immersed in cheering, but none of them noticed that the duke's full name was silent and his face was green.
"Duke, your expression is not so good ..."
Lusien, who was following him, was somewhat worried: "Is the negotiation with the dragon not going well?"
"Not smooth? No no no ... Lucien you misunderstood."
The dark-haired wizard turned around, barely squeezing a smile:
"It was so smooth!"
The gray pupil has an inexplicable expression on his face, not knowing what to do next.
Lucien doesn't understand, yes ... he certainly doesn't understand, and whoever gets such an "honor" at once, I am afraid that there will not be a second idea other than surprise.
A dragon ally who can communicate and will appear when you need help, and even willingly fight with you-is this not the setting of the dragon knight in all legends? !
But the problem is here. Loren can get the assistance of the dragon, but he cannot be the dragon knight.
It's very simple, because he doesn't have the last name of DeSales.
In this empire that relies on dragons to maintain unity and stability, the "dragonmaster" can only be a royal privilege; now, he is a prince of the Principality, but the king is favored by the dragons ...
Too public, too public.
Even if Loren can explain to Connold, even if the emperor and the royal family can really understand it-it is almost inevitable to have a rift; the imperial nobles will regard Baine more as a nail, and the Bain nobles may be so Generate some "great injustice" ideas ...
Enzo, the silver dragon, and the dragons of Jufeng Mountain ... It is impossible to understand the consequences and bad effects of doing so.
Even if you want to cooperate, even if you secretly make a fortune, why do you have to be a big fan?
Deliberately creating friction between themselves and the empire, what exactly do they want to do?
A kind of anger that was calculated and could not be guessed, caused the dark-haired wizard to clenched his fists and walked into the round table hall without saying a word.
The hall at this time was already "overcrowded"-at the invitation of Charlotte, guests from all over the empire gathered here early and talked.
Out of the instinct of a Bayern to love banquets, it is also to show off the strength and financial resources of Bayern today. The original and simple lobby was magnificently decorated by Charlotte.
The flowers in midsummer and the maple leaves in autumn and winter were carefully cut to replace the original satin decorative benches and staircase handrails; under the ceiling painted with frescoes, a huge thirty-two fluorite crystal lamps turned the hall bright and transparent. The Rainbow Bridge incense placed on it exudes a lingering smoky blue smoke, with a refreshing taste.
In front of the small round table covered with plain white satin, there is also a very intimate display of a good bottle of Byrne wine, which is regarded as an ordinary drink to drink at will;
As for the maid holding the tray full of desserts, the low-level casters performing various tricks, the meticulous and considerate attendants ... it is everywhere, so that every guest can get the most comfortable enjoyment as possible.
And this is just the "entertainment" stage, which doesn't even count on "preheating" according to the tradition of the Bayerns-at most, before the formal banquet, in order not to let the guests wait hard, sit down for a drink and relax with some snacks. By the way, I can look forward to the next feast.
But even if it was just entertaining, the strength the Turin family showed was enough to marvel at her guests.
Carrying a glass of wine, the absent-minded Holy Cross deacon Hilvik walked in the hall, and his eyes kept looking at the magnificent and lively hall all the time.
Such a grand banquet, even if it is the same as the heavenly palace dinner, cannot help but feel inferior.
You must know that it is the time of war, 100,000 troops have been gathered in the territory of the Red Blood Castle, and it is the most elite knightly army. Under such circumstances, the Turin family still has the wealth to host such a luxurious banquet. Imagine!
And all the wealth should belong to the Holy Cross Church!
Whenever thinking of this, Deacon Hilvik couldn't help but gritt his teeth.
Not only three years ago ... or four years ago ... The stupid empire governor lost the Principality of Byrne, but also was promoted by the church to the higher bishop Weber, even allowing the Turin family to divide up the church wealth!
"The church should pay attention to spiritual practice, and give worldly affairs and authority to the worldly ruler"-this kind of ignorant aristocrat, he made the words of compromise the most formal reason, and explained to himself.
He is afraid that he is stupid in reading the Bible? !
Because of him, in less than a year, the strength of Byrne, or the Turin family, has more than doubled; although His Royal Highness Connold was crowned and crowned, Duke Byrne also won the battle at Ebden Respect throughout the empire.
The power and influence of His Highness Brandon is rapidly expanding; if he does not contain his development, I am afraid that the original compromise to his heir position will become true.
Really ... why the church colleagues of Lotel and the nobles of East Sackland did not understand that the most important enemy at the moment was not the long ears from Azore, but His Highness Byrne and Brandon!
Even if you lose to the elves, it is only a momentary defeat; but if you lose to His Royal Highness Brandon, or let Bine swell and even fight against the imperial court, it will be forever.
With a sigh, the full and angry Silvik put down the glass in his hand; just as he was about to leave this noisy hall, and was no longer "poisoned" by the wealth of the Turin family, a figure that suddenly broke into the hall attracted his attention.
"Loren ... Lord Duke?"
The dark-haired wizard stopped and squinted in the direction of the source of the sound. A particularly strange figure was looking at himself, step by step.
"Are you ... Lord Silverwick?"
"Exactly, I am honored that Lord Duke can still remember me." Deacon Silverwick, with a certain meaningful expression, deliberately lowered his voice, laughed lightly: "I don't know if I can delay you for a few minutes?"
The dark-haired wizard raised his eyebrows, and Lusien behind him immediately understood and turned to leave.
"of course can."
"If I can, I really want to raise your glass for generosity now." Hilvik smiled favorably, but sighed in the next second:
"Unfortunately ... I can only worry about your future now."
"Why?" Loren asked, expressionless.
"Because of the current disaster, it is about to come to you." Silvik sighed to himself without paying attention to the expression of the dark-haired wizard:
"Holding His Royal Highness Connold, maintaining the peace of the empire, and adhering to the city of Eboden ... No one can erase these achievements, but the glory that cannot be erased is easily forgotten."
"As the Duke of Byrne, your prestige is beyond recognition, and even the entire empire regards you as a model of an imperial knight. Only the Black Duke can surpass you; but because they have reached the peak, they will not worship more. You are. "
"The people of the empire are very forgetful; when they forget your achievements, what will they see?"
He looked forward to the dark-haired wizard and waited for a response.
Loren said nothing.
But Silvik still said eloquently: "Yes! They will only see your mountain of wealth, see you holding an army comparable to the empire, and under your rule with Ebden The same wizards! "
"Our poor and ignorant poor believers will not understand your greatness and sacrifice, they will only quickly forget your glory and attacks, and start to worry about whether the knight of Byrne will threaten them, and envy you for your hard work. Your wealth, you do n’t understand your tolerance of wizards. "
"In the end, the glorious Knight Knight will become a scoundrel."
Silvik nodded and shook his head, sighing again and again-he no longer talked, just stared at the dark-haired wizard.
Half a minute, one minute, two minutes.
The two of them stared at each other, and fell into a kind of noisy calm.
Frustrated, Loren could only bear the urge to roll his eyes: "So, in your opinion and the church, how can I avoid this result?"
"Good question, you are so blessed and loved by Holy Cross, it is simply brilliant!"
With a grin, Silvik also sighed in relief: "The way to avoid all this is easy-the simplest way is to keep your humility and piety without worrying about it!"
The dark-haired wizard twitched the corner of his mouth, revealing a non-smiling expression.
The preoccupied Silvik immediately noticed this—he also understood that for all Loren at the top, what piety and humility is nonsense; the reputation and power of the other party are too large to be added, and preaching is useless .
Therefore, both hard and soft must be done to make Duke Byrne understand that he must move closer to the church.
So he laughed twice, and his expression was more pleasing: "Of course, these are just things that may happen temporarily, maybe it may happen, maybe not-after all, our believers are still simple and not so sinister. "
"But the nobles of the empire ... that's not necessarily the case."
"Oh?" Loren deliberately expressed a puzzled expression: "Please be more specific."
Sure enough, he still had concerns, and Silvik secretly hid.
After all, the other party is still the Duke of the same place, no matter how arrogant and arrogant, it is impossible to see the threat of the empire, and understand who is more threatening to him.
"Before you came, I actually heard about it-the dragon of Jufeng Mountain reached a certain agreement with you." Silvik deliberately lowered his voice, a mysterious expression:
"You and I understand that this is nothing more than the dragons fulfilling their commitment to protect the empire; you are the most prestigious prince of the empire, and Baine is the most powerful prince of the empire, and they have nothing wrong with them."
"What's more, this is just the unilateral statements of the dragons. You didn't ask for anything, and it is impossible to do this kind of thing deliberately-any sensible person will understand that this is just a misunderstanding and accident."
The black-haired wizard nodded, indicating that I thought so too.
"But the nobles of the empire ... especially the royal family, they don't think so." Hilvik's expression became more and more meaningful: "In their eyes, this is a signal that a Turin family of Bayern challenged Desali. Ang's royal signal. "
"They will think that the Turin family and Byrne are beginning to be dissatisfied with their current status and that they already have the strength to challenge the Dessarian family in Sacran ... even, they will think you have the ambition to become an emperor!"
"Once they start thinking that way, you are in danger-even if our noble and intelligent His Majesty Connold and His Highness Brandon can understand you, no one else will understand." Whether or not Loren listened, Hill Vic continued:
"In order to quell the anger and worries of the people, your majesty and the royal family must make some gestures to suppress or even exclude you; in order not to be considered as such a big idea, what can you do besides patience? ? "
"So what do you think I should do?"
Loren asked very "humbly" ~ EbookFREE.me ~ is very simple, piety-piety is the best way to solve all problems! "Silvik said excitedly:" As long as you stand in public, give up the excessive support for wizards in the past, and donate many industries under the name of the Turin family to the church, then no one can accuse you! "
"Because that way, blaming you is blaming the church, blaming the church is blaming the Holy Cross-in the empire, who dares to blame the Holy Cross ?!"
Hearing this ferocious words, Loren smiled.
Hilvik also smiled, especially happy.
While laughing, Loren reached out to him.
With a mysterious look, Silvik's expression quickly hurried up.
Then he heard a particularly simple answer from the dark-haired wizard of "Full Spring Breeze":
"Dream!"
