Chapter 268 [Damn]

And all of a sudden, Allou looked up at Dewey and looked sober, "I... I have one thing. Who the hell are you? You actually recited the spell of the Great Snow Mountain Witchcraft just now... these things can't be faked by outsiders! How did you learn all this stuff? ”

Dwihaha laughed: "There's so much you don't know about me! Do something for me in the future. Hmm... can I teach you witchcraft as your teacher? Are you a great snowy mountain wizard? If you want to learn, I'll teach you everything later. ”

In my heart, I thought, "The booklet of witchcraft is left behind by Gulanxiu. The White River mourning, though powerful, is also a disciple of Gulanxiu. Compared to the White River mourning, Gulanxiu will certainly do the same. However, qualifications vary from person to person. The white river is blue out of blue but is more blue than blue, the apprentice just beat the teacher. But the gates of witchcraft, they should all be the same.

Looking at the shock of Allou's face, Dewey didn't say anything, smiling and dipping water in the bucket of his cell, painting a symbol at will on the table. It is a symbol of the sorcery matrix in the Great Snow Mountain Witchcraft.

Allou looked even more surprised.

Duvi Haha laughed and thought, "This chick is so simple, she's afraid to fight with my sweet little Vivian." Left her here alone, I'm afraid she couldn't figure it out herself and committed suicide. Well, she's not dying, and I don't have much to do with it, but... if such a delicate pretty chick dies, I always feel guilty.

Thinking about it, he walked out the door and summoned a personal bodyguard, ordering him to bring two of the female “prey” that had been rescued from Lugo. In his head, he thought of a beautiful girl named "Moon Including” and just called her.

Soon, Moon and two other girls were brought here.

After a few days of cultivation, these beautiful young girls, whose face has long faded away, after wearing them properly, reveal the charm of the young girl without a doubt. And the girl with the moon, more like a crane standing a chicken group, the vulgar face and temperament, is like a protrusion.

Now that Allou has helped herself with such a big favor, Dewey won't let her stay in the cell anymore. Ask someone to clean up a room in the castle floor and let Allou stay in, and say to the girl with a few months in it: “You train as usual in the future, this person is also in your care. This girl is a little stupid. I'm afraid she won't want to kill herself at a meeting. Show me how she is. If she dies... neither of you will have to live. Do you understand?”

Several girls warily promised, Dewey glanced at Aaron, sighed, walked past, held Aaron's chin against the moon, stared at her eyes, and made a despicable glamour, whispering: “If you listen to me, don't die, understand? ”

After seeing the brightness in Eloise's eyes gradually lose, she answered with a tongue-in-cheek. Dewey was relieved, and then he left alone.

The remaining girls in the room were still frightened. But with the moon, the most courageous, carefully walked up to Ariel and slowly squatted down, softly: “You... how are you? ”

Eloo was confused and looked up, but saw a girl who looked more beautiful than herself. First, she felt sad and frowned again: “You... who are you... don't worry about me. Just leave me alone. ”

After a moment of silence, Moon sat down slowly beside Eloise, reaching out and holding Eloise, softly said: "Well, I know... you must be afraid of the Duke, don't you? Actually, you don't have to be scared. The Duke looks terrible, but he's good for all of us. ”

The sound of the moon was softer when he looked at Arrow and lowered his voice: “Actually, I heard that the Duchess was kind, and in the northwest, everyone praised him. Except, in the future, everything goes with him. Whatever he tells us, we'll do it. The Duchess will never blame you, will he? ”

Eloo was dazed and whispered to himself: "Well... whatever he said, I'll do it... is that right? ”

•

This evening gave Dewey such a mess, and during the ensuing negotiations, Hammayeh's attitude towards Dewey was certainly excellent, and his words were extremely cautious and courteous. The conditions subsequently imposed on the Dewey side, while some would argue, were much softer. And often Hammayeh has to loosen his tone as long as Dewey shows a little hardness.

As a result, strong and weak judgments were reached and negotiations quickly smoothed out. Except for the horse sheep we talked about earlier. Hammayeh also made every effort to give way to the language of the Book of Nations, and even signed the Book of Reconciliation.

Dewey was relieved to think: I knew it would be so much good to pretend to be a wizard. I should have asked for more horses from a lion a long time ago. But the thought just turned away, and he knew that if he did too much, he would still doubt it.

Fortunately, there is no telephone in the world. Neither negotiators outside nor leaders in the rear can stay in touch at all times. Otherwise, they pretend to be the Great Snow Mountain Wizards. Unless the other party goes to the Great Snow Mountains to prove themselves, they cannot find out.

When, on the last day of the negotiations, the two sides finally signed a pact, the prairie volunteered to reconcile and were willing to pay for the Roland Empire war horse and sheep plus pieces of pieces. In addition, the two parties have signed a friendly agreement promising never to violate each other's borders, and Youbang will make a good deal of clouds.

Of course, Dewey herself ignored the last sentence. What friendship, no aggression, is bullshit. Once both parties have made the decision to fight, any peace treaty is just a piece of scrap paper.

Count Duvi and Count Billia signed the State Book with the right and deputy envoys, respectively - originally Billia refused to sign, arguing that he was merely assisting Duvi. Later, however, it seemed that the negotiations were going smoothly and that the results were not good enough, so that nothing was feared and the signatures were promised. It's also hidden in my mind that it's strange, why this Hammayeh seems to be afraid of Dewey in the next few days, putting up with Dewey - the means of our little Duke is really surprising.

After both parties initialled the book, it cannot take effect directly. It must be sent quickly to the Emperor to show it to Prince Chen. It cannot take effect until the King of Regents signs it. Until then, this Hammayeh will have to stay here in Dewey for a few more days.

Hammayeh, however, seemed genuinely afraid of the tents that Dewey had given him, and when Alou and Dewey impersonated the wizard, he was deliberately warned not to meddle in the search for pets on Snow Mountain and not to piss off the tulip duke. Hammayeh speculated that if he continued to live in Roland awaiting the Book of Nations, it would take him a dozen days to get around, perhaps even longer. And the Duke of Tulip was quite strange, and he stayed here himself. In case he was accidental, the words offended him, it inevitably broke the great things of the wizards on the snow mountain, so he offered to go with the Count of Villa to Empire. Count Billia didn't think much of it, so he said yes.

Duvi sent the two men away, in addition to writing a letter to Billia to take back Prince Chenchen regarding the abolition of the 20,000 cavalry on the prairie. When the two of them left, even if the negotiations ended, Dewey finally got off the hook.

Subsequently, the following persons reported that they had received information that the soldiers originally stationed in the Northwest Army post above the Northwest Corridor had been evacuated. When Dewey listened, she fell into contemplation.

To be honest, how to control this corridor effectively, he hasn't figured it out yet. The Northwestern Army had a secret tune with the Prairie Man, and that post was nothing more than a whore's palace, deaf ears, just a setup. Now that we're going back to the Northwest Corridor, how to effectively control it in the future and prevent the savannahs from sneaking in is the top priority.

Thinking about it, Dewey doesn't have a very good idea, either. It's impossible to build a city there. Without water, how many people go to the rear to deliver water, the cost is really hard to eat.

Originally Dewey also thought about digging for groundwater. But this world, unlike previous generations, digs the limits of groundwater, it's just a normal well. As Dewey knew in previous generations, using technology, you can hit hundreds of meters underground, even deeper, to get water, which is absolutely impossible in this world.

Dewey had a heart attack, or else he would have blown up both sides of the Northwest Corridor Canyon with a lot of gunpowder! Seal the entire northwest corridor!

But that thought was immediately denied by him. The Northwest Corridor is the only way to the grasslands. It is also the only way to trade cattle, goats, horses and animals in business with the prairie people of the entire Roland Empire! If you dare to do this kind of wealth-breaking thing, you're afraid of business groups all over the world, and countless other aristocratic families are going to hate you. Moreover, their territory was on the frontier, agriculture was lagging behind, and the land was marginal, and the largest income on the fiscal front depended on business taxes. If the business route is cut off, and there will be no border trade in the future, how many years can you support it by eating your own capital? Dewey refused to cut off the money.

So... get a hose straight to the northwest corridor? That thought flashed, and Dewey laughed first.

How easy it is to talk! Lake Lulan is the largest source of water, but Lake Lulan is also a long way from the northwest corridor! Piping? Metallurgical techniques and metalworking in this world are not of this standard.

How exactly can we guard this gate in the Northwest Corridor...

Damn Lugo, he must be waiting to see my joke.

There was no good strategy at the moment, so Dewey simply waved a fortune and sent hundreds of people to the Northwest Corridor, stationed in a few checkpoints left behind by the Northwest Army, for the time being following the previous pattern. It is impossible for hundreds of people to guard a corridor that wide and can only serve as an early warning. Just tell them to be on guard and light a flare if anything happens. Other than that, Dewey doesn't have a very good idea for the moment.

Then a month went by fast. Message came from Didu that the Regent had signed a letter to bring Hammuyeh back to the prairie. This incident of military friction between the two sides is also a breakdown. Dewey was relieved to hear the news: Prince Chen finally promised himself to abolish 20,000 cavalry troops on the prairie.

That Hammayeh was interesting, but when he got the Book of Nations, on his way back to the prairie, he did not pass through Lulan City, but deliberately detoured, and did not face Dewey, and went straight back to the prairie. Dewey knew what Hammayeh was afraid of, nothing broken, and some of his men were angry at the messenger of the prairie, and Dewey laughed and passed.

Count Billia arrived again in the northwest, this time with a secret letter, sealed with fire paint, and with Dewey in his hand, he could feel a hint of magically forbidden fluctuation. In the evening, one person opened the room and looked at it. It was Prince Chen's handbook.

The letter begins with a few words of praise from Dewey, saying that he did an excellent job this time. That is, preserving the face of the Empire and reaping tangible benefits. Mention was also made of Dewey's leadership of the family's private forces against the prairies in Gilliant City, saying a few thoughtful words of comfort and encouragement, while at the same time implicitly stating that, while the nominal results had been taken away by the Northwest Army, his Regent would not forget Dewey's credit. In this claim against the prairie, the Empire and Dewey split half. It was nominally a tribute to Dewey for the success of the negotiations, in fact for his battle and for compensating him for his loss.

Dewey sees this place and is satisfied: it looks like Prince Chen is on his way to do something!

I'm in a great mood to see this place. But when I saw the back, I frowned a little.

With regard to the abolition of 20,000 cavalry troops on the grasslands, Prince Chen said that the Emperor's central government had long intended to do so, and now that the military commanding ministry had unified its views, it was willing to withdraw its troops, but did not agree to give 20,000 men to Dewey. Although Naduvi nominally placed the army in her own territory and in the name of the Imperial Army, as proposed by Mrs. Lister, it is still unacceptable, in terms of self-esteem, for the tyrants of the Imperial Army to be demoralized into a private army. Just shortly after taking office, Prince Chen also indicated that he did not want to be too rigid with the military commanding ministry. After finally negotiating the price, he promised Dewey two cavalry regiments... that is...

6,000?

Dewey saw here and couldn't help but distort his nose.

What do you mean by "military boss"? The little Regent won't give himself the power! He was caught in the midst of the prairies and the Northwest Army, weak in strength, and if there was a complete cavalry division formed, 20,000, at least a deterrent to the enemy.

If there were only a few thousand people... who would care?

Fortunately, Prince Chen also probably understood that Dewey would probably be dissatisfied, so he also said compensatory words: these 6,000 people, not divided according to the plan, but 20,000 people lined up, with Dewey choosing 6,000!

After the selection, the rest of the people will be dragged back to the Emperor by Prince Chen to fill the Royal City Guard.

Dewey began to be somewhat dissatisfied, but then his mind cleared: 20,000 people, in fact, were also heavily viewed by the Emperor. It's just that it was too expensive to live on the grasslands. If you pull back... 20,000 men are a rare elite! It's an iron ride on the meadow, after all!

Prince Chen is not a fool, how could he easily give such a male soldier to himself? The thought I had before, I did underestimate the Regent.

“Six thousand is six thousand.” Dewey sighed, darkly reckoned in his heart, he already had 3,000 cavalry in his hand, plus the 6,000, and when the Lester family moved to the northwest, there were more than 2,000 Knights of the White Feathers, and there were more than 10,000 more, recruited some more, barely a full 20,000 division, could do it. Just can't match a complete Prairie Cavalry Division.

After reading the secret letter, Dewey then set it on fire.

Then someone invited Count Billia, who had just been washed away.

“By the time I left, the military commander's orders had been issued and the cavalry division on the prairie would soon be redeployed. By then, the order of the military was to have 20,000 people come to Lu Lan City first. Specifically, His Highness has already told the Duke in his letter, I do not need to repeat it.” The spirit of Count Billia in his gown looks much better than it was the last time he negotiated. Obviously, the burden of negotiation has gone, and the whole person has become much easier.

Dewey nodded: “How is everything going in Diduri? ”

“Interesting to say.” Billia smiled slightly: “The main battle and the Lord and the two factions gradually became less noisy. After all, once the national book was signed, even if it was conclusive, there was no quarrel, but lately the temple appeared to be a little unstable. I've heard rumors from the workshop… it seems to be a trivial rhetoric about some of your actions in the Northwest Duke. ”

“Oh?” Dewey frowned.

I don't think I'm positively offended by the Temple.

Billia smiled softly: "Did you order the capture of the prairie captives, all tied to pillars, to march everywhere after the last war in Gilliant City? Later, all the prisoners died, and none of them survived. This is the thing that makes the Temple very uncomfortable with what you do. Especially Her Holiness the Virgin... hey, she criticized your brutality in public, saying that this is not in keeping with the Goddess of Light's mercy on the world... hey. ”

Dewey nodded: "Holy Virgin… Well, what does the temple say? ”

“On the part of the temple, it is an implicit statement in support of the Virgin, but there is no public statement. But at this time, remain silent, even if it acquiesces to the Virgin's rhetoric. ”

Billia hesitated for a moment and said: "Duchess, I have a suggestion I don't know..."

“Go ahead, Uncle Billia.” Duvihaha laughed: “You forgot? In private, don't call me the Duke. ”

“Mm-hmm.” Count Billia nodded: "I heard the temple was meant to set up a religious institute in your capital. But it seems that you are not very supportive... and even heard about your clandestine infarction..."

Dewey immediately screamed, “Where is it?!! The temple sent someone. However, although my new city has just been established, it is becoming more prosperous and expensive. His temple is unwilling to buy it, but it is none of my business! ”

Billia smiled a little embarrassed and glanced at Dewey: "Throughout the empire… let the temple pay for its own land to set up a religious institute. The Duchess is the first. ”

How can religious establishments throughout the empire, as is customary, local magistrates or noble lords dare to pay for their own land? As soon as you hear about the temple setting up a religious house, of course, it's the best land in the area that you can give away for free.

“My city is new, and I'm not a Temple Believer myself, and I'm not going to do the donation thing," Dewey blunted. Is that why the temple hates me? Besides... I'm not the only unbelieving nobleman in the Empire. ”

Billia smiled slightly: "Well, that's just one of them. Most of the time that Her Majesty the Virgin is in trouble for you is just... well, for the late Grand Prince. But don't worry about this. Attacking you is attacking the Regent, involving the late Grand Prince. The Regent is sure to guarantee you. This is a political position that will never waver. ”

Dewey would, nodding his head and smiling: "But the Regent is already very tolerant of the Virgin. This woman is provoking herself… Alas, I don't think the brains of this saint necessarily work. ”

Billiahaha smiled and lowered his voice. "Well, I heard His Highness say..." He said, "If you're going to hit a mouse, the thing you're most afraid of is that the mouse has shrunk into a hole and there's nowhere else to do it, as long as the mouse can show its tail and pull it, it's fine. The temple and we have always looked divine. Although we supported Prince Chen on the day of the coup d 'état, Prince Chen also paid an unclear price! So we don't have to live with the temple. We'll have to fight for it in the future. However, the temple has traditionally acted with caution and serenity. It's not easy... leaving this stupid woman behind, even if the rat's tail is caught by us! Even if the temple is cautious, as long as this woman keeps making a scene, something will always happen. Then there will be an excuse to blame the Temple! The Temple itself must show mercy and protect the Virgin... hum...”

That's kind of a confession, making Dewey feel the same way... This old fox, who has always kept Ming Cheol safe, encountered these key problems, always played haha, why are you so angry with yourself today? How dare you say in front of yourself that the Virgin is a “silly woman”, mentions the temple, and has no respect for it. Out of words, Dewey is treated as the closest person you can be.

Doubting in his heart, Dewey looked at the Count of Villa, who smiled dry on his face for a while, and coughed, "Actually... this time, in addition to sending a letter to His Royal Highness the Regent, His Highness has another mandate for me. However, this is a private matter, but it is not easy to come to you with a big banner. You can only send me here once. ”

“Oh?” Dewey moved.

The smile on Count Billia's face grew more and more cordial: "Dewey, you are fifteen years old and, according to our Roland customs, you are an adult. But in the aristocratic circle, men who have reached the age of fifteen marry immediately, even if they do not marry immediately, there is a fixed marriage contract. But now you're red and purple and hot, and the Emperor doesn't know how many doors are staring at you. If it weren't for the bitter cold in the northwest, someone would have wanted to send their daughter to me! Haha... say a polite word, unfortunately I don't have a daughter in Billia, otherwise I will ask you to kiss me. ”

Dewey chuckled and felt a hint of bad.

“The Regent seemed wonderful to you. He was very flattering. I don't think we've had such a monarch in Roland's history. He asked me to ask you... Well, His Royal Highness has a 15-year-old sister who is the biological daughter of His Majesty Augustine VI and, of all princesses, has the best relationship with Prince Chen. This princess is also a big famous, beautiful, hidden person in the Emperor's capital compares her to Miss Angel of the Lester family. Although I have not met Miss Angel, I have met this princess. It is true that she is the daughter of the royal family, whether it is rituality or style, which is the best choice... Therefore, His Royal Highness sent me to the northwest, there is one other thing, your marriage! ”

Dewey felt a little uncomfortable in her heart, but she smiled: "Well... it looks like Uncle Billia is here to give me a kiss. ”

“Nor is it official.” Villa laughed: “His Highness and I spoke face to face. It's always a matter of mutual desire. Moreover, although everyone in the Empire is married to the royal family, His Highness said that you are definitely not from that kind of power and do not necessarily want to. So I just came to see what you mean. However, His Highness means that now and the prairie people are temporarily settled. In the short term, nothing will happen. At the end of the year, please come back to the Emperor. At the end of the year, the banquet ceremony will be held at the end of the year. If the Grand Duke of the Red Empire does not participate, he will be afraid to reduce the colour. Last year you just arrived in the northwest, you were unstable, and His Highness did not dare to summon you. This year is different, you did a great job in the northwest, and you just happened to go back to the Emperor to see the scenery... these two... hey, on the banquet, Her Royal Highness is naturally also going to attend. If I could make things better for both of you, I would be a big success for Billia. ”

Dewey is staring... what is this? Are you dating?

However... Prince Chen did not directly give him a brutal marriage, but rather gently let himself be married, which is already quite enlightened.

Just... don't even want to marry the women of the Lester family... will you marry a royal princess back? If I had such a chess pie sent by Prince Chen, I would sleep beside myself every day... Hmm, how could I agree to such a thing!

“Well, that's how it is. You have to go back to the Emperor at the end of the year. His Royal Highness's orders will be sent through official channels.” Count Billia hey hey smile: “This princess is beautiful, she is the dream lover of countless talents of emperors, Dewey, you are blessed this time. ”

After a pause, without waiting for Dewey to say anything, Billia said something again and left Dewey mute!

“The Regent said, if… everything is as it should be, if you really marry his sister, then you Dewey will be next to the royal family in the future! Although before... well, before... the Rollins were devalued, it was impossible to reintegrate them, but if you became next to the royal family, then your father's brother naturally had a royal relationship, so that, according to the laws of our Roland Empire, the royal family had immunity. Although the previous decree, Raymond and your brother Gabriel, were not allowed to be hired for life, but if you became royal... it would be different! In the name of the royal family, your brother Gabriel will join us in the future, and there will be no more obstacles! ”

Let's get Dewey's eyebrow up!

Prince Chen! What a Regent! That's good!

Hey hey, you really caught my Dewey's biggest weakness!!

Dewey was in trouble, and suddenly he heard a laugh coming from outside! The sound retreated from the entire Duke's Castle, and the sound drifted with pride.

“Hahahahahahahahahaha...”

The noise was so loud, through the doors and windows, it made people feel stingy.

Dewey's face moved as soon as she heard it.

The old green hat... finally came out of the cellar?!

Alas, this teacher, if you leave the gate, you don't have to laugh so scary.

Looking at Billia, Dewey laughed, “Oh, don't worry, it's a senior, a magician. It's just a little weird. Uncle Billia, please have a seat. I'll be right there. ”

After that, Dewey quit the door, but just walked up the stairs and saw his own guard elder smoke rushing up and panicking.

“My Lord! Sir!“

“What's wrong? ”

The old cigarette was sweating. "This... the old magician who lived in the cellar came out. ”

Dewey whispered: “I get it... the old man laughs so loud, I'm not deaf. ”

“No... no!” Old Smoke laughed bitterly: “It's not good! The old magician just came out and happened to run into Mrs. Lester! As a result, the Marquise only looked at the old magician for a second. I don't know why. She screamed and fainted! Several white feather knights next to the Marquis have surrounded the old magician only as if she had been damaged! ”

That's no small surprise, Dewey!

The Green Hat and the Lester family had a fight?!

See... Shit!
