"It was my mistake," Fayern said regretfully. "I should have dealt with the Vatican long ago before coming to the capital."
"It's nothing. If we stop at Hades, we'll be in time for Cloud Flow Envoy to reach the capital. It's not a coincidence that Cloud Flow Envoy only used the teleportation formation after we went around the city. No matter what we do, the result will be the same. "Princess Rex analyzed calmly.
"Has Earl Morclary's son inherited the title?" Salin asked the key question.
"The House of Commons has already passed it. Even if Father suppresses it, the House of Commons won't care. That brat will start a war of revenge. He's a first-class earl, and has thousands of private soldiers. It's normal for him to kill me halfway. But Father will transfer half of his army, and only leave him 500 private soldiers. I have to think of a way to get rid of him. "Princess Rex's face was full of anger. She had had enough of the nobles' scheming. Sacrifice herself? Then let the enemy die.
"Princess, that's not appropriate," Salin stopped her.
"Why?"
"Hades is far from Bitterwater Commandery, but it's the only way to the east. Now that Earl Morclari is dead, his son is probably of no use. The House of Commons is using you to get rid of him so that they can free up a title and arrange for a powerful person to come to Haditha City. When the time comes, they will cut off the road between you and the capital. "
"Huh?" Rex was shocked. She knew about Salin's background, but this analysis hit the nail on the head. Earl Morclary's son shouted fiercely, but he was actually not as powerful as Bitterwater Commandery. In fact, the difference was too great. Even if she killed him, she wouldn't get the land in Hades. The land would be taken back by the House of Commons.
If it was a family with a title but no land, they would be much more powerful. Bitterwater Commandery was a bit isolated. Hades was one of the two ways to get there. If this place was blocked, Bitterwater Commandery's future development would become difficult.
"But even if I can explain it clearly, the House of Commons will still go against me with Hades. This is a conflict that cannot be resolved."
"Princess, you're only worried about the Magic Tower outside Hades. As long as that Magician doesn't help, Hades won't cause much trouble for Bitterwater Commandery."
Princess Rex nodded. The Magic Tower outside Haditha City was enough to defend against an army. Unless he invited his teacher out, but he didn't have a good reason to do so.
"That's easy. What kind of people do mages hate the most?" Salin asked back.
Rex suddenly understood. Mages hated mages. If Hades City lost the support of the Mages, it would be nothing. His 1,000 troops and 100 Battle Mages would be enough to solve the problem. As for how to operate it, there was no need to ask Salin. Rex naturally had such experts by his side.
Spreading rumors and framing others was not a rare tactic. Since Earl Morclari's son was dead set on obeying the orders of the House of Commons to deal with him, then he would never get the support of the mages.
Salin's train of thought was not bad. If he were to be trained for a few years, it would not be a problem for him to rule a city. Unfortunately, he was a magician. Rex was a little regretful that none of the mages around him were willing to do this except for Juan.
"Since that's the case, it saves me a lot of trouble. Salin, you are all mages, and there is no danger in the capital. Tell Silva and Nelis to be careful. Except for me, they can refuse anyone's summons, "Rex cautiously reminded.
Salin was covered in cold sweat. He hadn't thought of that. Fortunately, Rex had reminded him. Nelis would not fall for it, but Silva might not. Thinking of this, he didn't care what else Rex had to say. He dashed out of the room and knocked hard on Silva's door.
After knocking for a long time, Silva still didn't open the door. Salin got anxious and raised his hand to cast an icicle. The icicle penetrated the door and broke the lock inside. Salin pushed the door open and entered.
"Salin …"
Salin rushed into the room and saw Silva with a big bath towel draped over him. His mouth was full of foam, and he was using a brush to brush his teeth. Seeing Salin rush in, Silva could only mutter his name.
"Why didn't you open the door!" Salin heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't see Silva's erotic act at all.
Silva put down the toothbrush and said blankly, "I was bathing and brushing my teeth …"
Salin then saw that the bath towel that Silva hurriedly put on only covered his thighs. There was still half of it exposed … He had seen it when he knew Silva. But this time, Salin's heart beat violently, and he felt hot all over.
Silva was no longer dirty. Her hair hung down softly, exuding a faint fragrance. Her skin was white with a tinge of pink. Her ten fingernails were smeared with Iris Flower juice. The white velvet bath towel was draped diagonally, only covering half of her chest. Salin's throat was dry. He casually said, "You've been bathing more frequently recently."
Laughter came from the door. Nelis slipped in and put her head on Salin's shoulder. She blinked and asked, "Master, are you here to watch Sister Silva bathing?"
Shika's face turned red, and the toothbrush in his hand flew towards Neris. Nelis's eyes strangely turned gold. She stared at the toothbrush that flew over. The toothbrush swerved and smacked Salin's nose bone with a smack.
Salin was in so much pain that tears flowed out. He squatted down, covered his face with his hands and groaned.
It was true that he had trained his muscles, but at most he looked like a senior swordsman. Moreover, the nose was very fragile. He didn't expect Silva's toothbrush to make a turn. It wasn't a boomerang.
Nelis hurriedly bent down and rubbed Salin's nose. She whispered in his ear, "Master, Sister Silva won't let you peek. Let's just rape her."
"Go to hell." Salin of course knew it was Nelis's trick. He lifted his leg and kicked Nelis's butt. But his strength was even weaker than Silva, not to mention Nelis who was a little demon. The kick didn't hurt or itch. Silva heard Nelis's words and her face was no longer red. She glared at Nelis and turned to the bathroom.
Salin endured the pain on his nose and shouted from behind, "Silva!"
"What?" Silva turned back. Her untied hair fluttered.
"These few days … don't leave here unless I call you." Salin felt his nose was already swollen.
"That's it?" Silva asked in surprise.
"Yes." Salin covered his nose and fled. There were mages peeking curiously outside the door, but they were blocked by Salin's Fog of Confusion.
Nelis followed Salin out of Silva's room. She smiled secretly and hid in the Fog of Confusion.
Salin returned to his room and looked at himself in the mirror. The bridge of his nose was bruised and swollen. He cast a Healing Water on himself and lay on the bed, waiting for the pain to subside.
Xi Ka had been seen by him twice, and he had been injured both times. It was really God's will. The last time was when he was punched twice and fainted for at least an hour. This time, his nose was almost broken.
No wonder many mages didn't find wives. If they were beaten every day, how would they be in the mood to train? Fayern didn't have a wife. It was a miracle that he went from third level to seventh level in ten years. Teacher didn't seem to have a wife either. The eighth level Magic Shooter in Kushui County didn't either. Hmm, Joey didn't either.
Salin used the concept of Figaro's formula to analyze the relationship between women and magic, but he couldn't get rid of the red spot in his mind. Silva's breasts were still very nice.
Nelis sensed something. She lay beside Salin and asked, "Master, why didn't you let me help just now?"
"Help with what?" Salin asked in a muffled voice.
"Rape, of course!" Nelis pounded the bed and shouted excitedly.
"What do you know! Ah … "Salin's voice grew louder. His nose hurt badly. He wasn't afraid of pain, but he couldn't control the secretion of tears. A mage wasn't a Sword Saint. Salin couldn't control the organs in his body freely.
Nelis hurriedly wiped Salin's tears and said, "Master, if you don't like it, let's change the method."
"Don't talk nonsense." Salin moaned and pushed Nelis's hand away. He said, "The way back won't be peaceful. You need to think of a way to improve your strength. Last time I saw you secretly take something from the storeroom. What was it?"
Nelis used some unknown method to hide from the grey-robed mage guarding the storeroom and secretly took something out of the bracelet. But she couldn't hide it from Salin who had a soul contract.
Nelis put her mouth next to Salin's ear and said in the softest voice, "Master, you can't look now. You'll be discovered. Anyway, it's something good. "
Salin could only pray in his heart that this thing wasn't important to the emperor. Otherwise, the mage named Sith would be punished. What if he returned it? Salin didn't want to. What if Nelis's identity was exposed?
Salin missed Joey's magic fluid very much. If he used it to treat his nose, it would be almost healed. Healing Water was a level-one spell after all. It was good at detoxifying, but it was a bit slow at healing.
Salin's nose was bruised. He was too embarrassed to go out and meet people. He could only endure it in his room and practice magic every day. Emperor Qin Yin was about to go on an expedition. The entire imperial capital was busy. The emperor didn't go on an expedition at will. Selecting soldiers, auxiliary soldiers, and mages to follow the army. In fact, there were more than 300,000 people mobilized.
100,000 elite troops plus two battalions of court swordsmen, a total of 120,000 people. At least 24 great mages were needed to guarantee logistics. Otherwise, the remaining auxiliary soldiers wouldn't even be enough to transport food and weapons, let alone help in the war.
Every battalion had to select a commander and increase the number of warhorses. Just from the northern part of the empire, a large number of horses and carriages had to be mobilized. These things would take more than a month.
The empire hadn't waged a large-scale war for hundreds of years. If they were to lose this time, Qin Yin's prestige would quickly fall and he would become food for the surrounding countries. At this point, the upper and lower councils could only unite and fully support Emperor Qin Yin. A large number of low-level mages gathered in the imperial capital. According to Qin Yin's laws, the mages who participated in the national war would receive several times the usual rewards.
Not every Magician could get their hands on money. This war had given a lot of people hope.
