Chapter 365 [Conditions of the Virgin]

Dewey is indeed waiting for a signal from the Emperor, from the Regent.

Unfortunately, he waited for this. But with this signal coming along, there's a big, big “problem."

Winter is not over, ice and snow are not beginning to melt, and roads are still difficult.

Just this morning, two carriages from Lulan City attracted the attention of patrol cavalry outside the city.

The two carriages bear the sign of the Temple of Light, followed by four consecrated knights at the front and rear of each carriage. As the patrolling cavalry approached, they were told that there was a dignitary from the Temple of the Emperor in the carriage because they had presented legal formalities and that the patrolling cavalry had to escort them all the way into Lulan City.

Preliminary construction has been completed of the new religious house in Lulan City, a cathedral very close to the Duke's Palace, guarded by a hundred holy knights. And when the two carriages entered the city, it was during the busiest morning when the merchants entered and exited the city gate, which attracted a lot of attention. Everyone wonders, in such a magnificent carriage, which prominent figure in the temple will come.

The carriage did not go to the Church and Religious House in Langcheng, but drove directly to the Duke's Gate.

The Sacred Knight of the escort was surprised that one of their men had just stopped at the Duke's Palace, and that such a sudden visit did not surprise the other.

Waiting for them was the gate that opened outside the castle, a group of tulip guard cavalry came out to greet them, while standing at the gate of the castle was an old man in typical aristocratic butler service, who even wore a beautiful tie with a respectful and humble smile on his face.

Then he opened the door himself for the guests in the carriage in a position that even the court ceremonialist could not pick up, and then made a gesture inviting them to get off, smiling in his mouth: "Your Highness, the Duchess has asked me to wait here to greet you. I'm sorry that you came so suddenly that the Duchess was in such a hurry this morning to meet the family generals that he could not greet you personally. ”

A slender woman's hand was stretched out of the carriage, and then Her Highness, the noble Virgin of the Temple of the Continent, slowly stepped off the carriage. Although she had a smile on her face, a slight surprise still flashed in her eyes. Then she calmed down quickly. If nothing happened, she put her hand on the hand of the old butler in front of her and let her help herself off the carriage.

A cold breeze blew through and despite the thick white fur collar, the Virgin couldn't help but shrink her neck and whisper: "Thank you. Oh, is it always so cold in this northwest weather? ”

“Just get used to it.” The old housekeeper laughed very carefully: "Your Highness, I have arranged a warm lounge, do you need anything else? ”

“Please take care of my loyal knights, who have worked hard all the way.” The Virgin said faintly.

“Rest assured that these knights will be treated as VIPs if you wish.” The old butler laughed: “My name is Mudd, Your Highness, and you can tell me directly if you need anything. ”

The Virgin looked carefully at the surroundings, at this magnificent Duke's Castle, and she praised politely: "This is a magical place, Mr. Butler, I heard it took only three months to build. Is it true? Oh, the Mighty Goddess on, that's a miracle. ”

The old butler responded with two sentences, and then the Virgin asked: “I am not in a hurry to go to the lounge, I am very curious about this place, can I take a look around? ”

“Absolutely.” The old butler laughed, but then added: "However, some of the places in this castle are forbidden by the Duke. No one is allowed to enter or leave without his own command… Oh, Your Highness, you know that our Duke is a magician, a magician's habit, which is somewhat different from that of ordinary people. ”

The Virgin smiled a little less tolerant and thought, "Well, please take me to the lounge… I guess I'll wait until I get permission from the master to visit. ”

What's Dewey doing now?

Of course he knew of the coming of Her Highness the Virgin.

In fact, he was informed that the frame of the Virgin had not yet entered the border of Desarrollo Province.

At this time, the war is imminent. Why did this and her Imperial Highness come to the northwest? Does she want to play some trick?

What do you think in the temple? On the one hand, working hard with myself, and throwing such a problem to the northwest to confuse yourself?

And Prince Chen... he even agreed?

Damn... Prince Chen wants to take advantage of the war to get rid of his niece? Dewey has no malicious suspicions.

Nor was Dewey in a meeting with any generals. In fact, most of the warlords under Dewey have now gone to border barracks in Desa and Nurin provinces, and the only one left in Lulan who can be described as a "warlord” is Lulan City guarding Dardanelle.

When Dewey woke up early this morning, he went to the lab, and his "Dragon Battleship” was almost finished, and Gandalf the Green Robe taught him a little trick, and Dewey added a little shady toy to this secret weapon.

Later, in the morning, he had another morning tea with Mrs. Lister and Miss Angel's sisters. And then that kid Muse, who Dewey didn't like, came and harassed herself -- damn it, this guy who made Dewey look bad, he said to himself he wanted to go to war.

“Why did you say you were going to war?” Dewey plays dumb in front of this guy: "It's an era of peace, there's no battlefield. ”

“Don't lie to me.” Muse's face was gloomy, and the boy grew a little taller in the two years northwest, but by Dewey's standards, he was still too thin.

“Like a pussy.” - This is Lombardon's assessment of the boy.

“Don't lie to me.” Muse faces Dewey: “Most of your troops have been mobilized to the east, and now everyone is so busy that idiots can see that it was the last mobilization before the war. Hmm... I'm not a fool, Duchess! ”

Dewey looked at the red tide on the kid's face and the sweat beads on the tip of his nose and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: “What have you been up to this morning? Gone to sports? ”

He even approached two steps, pulling a spa out of his arms and wiping the sweat off his nose with his own hands. This move surprised the muse and took two quick steps back.

“Oh, I forgot, you have cleanliness habits.” Dewey put away Sparrow with a smile.

“I... I went to practice swordsmanship in the morning.” Muse tried to lift his chest, "my teacher told me," my swordsmanship has reached level three! And soon, I'll be able to practice fighting! I... I've grown up! Don't look at me like that. ”

“Only a child will desperately emphasize that he is not a child.” Dewey shrugged her shoulders.

“If you don't let me go, I'll go myself!” Muse remains resolute.

“You better not do that, because then I won't hesitate to break your legs - two together.” Dewey spoke plainly as if he were talking about something irrelevant.

Then he glanced at Muse and suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "About the war... you listened to your sister. ”

Muse nodded after a moment of silence.

“Your sister is smart.” Dewey smiled: “What else did she say besides that? ”

“She said...” Muse coughed: “She gave me a list of middle- and lower-ranking generals in the Northwest Army, all of whom we might be fighting for. However, I will not give you this list unless you promise to take me to the battlefield. ”

Dewey's been thinking for a while, Mrs. Lister, is this helping me? Hmm... still a very attentive woman. But why would she want to take Muse to war?

“Wait, boy.” Dewey nodded: “Well, I can take you there, but you have to come with me, and... if you don't listen, I'll break your leg. ”

After a pause, Dewey looked at this guy maliciously and suddenly smiled maliciously: "By the way, be careful when you practice your sword later, I know that you are in a period of development... always oppressed, no good for physical development. ”

Dewey's eyes accidentally landed on Muse's chest, which frightened her face a little bit. Fortunately, Dewey quickly turned his eyes away and waved to let the boy out.

He... he knows?

Muse's heart beat 180 and fled Dewey's study.

“Hmm. Mrs. Lister... with all her heart.” Dewey took a glance at the list Muse left behind and sighed: "But doesn't she know a quote? War, let the woman go! ”

Dewey looked at the time and the sun was almost over her head.

Well, I'm sure Her Royal Highness must be in a hurry.

He slowly changed his clothes and came to the Virgin's lounge door.

Just at the door, Dewey heard a woman laughing inside, and he pushed open the door and saw Lady Lister and Her Royal Highness sitting together, two beautiful women, talking as if they were familiar.

Dewey walked in, exaggerated and stretched her lazy waist, and laughed: "I'm sorry, Your Highness, your sudden arrival surprised me and it was rude of me to keep you waiting. ”

The Virgin saw Dewey come in, stood up, turned to Dewey, and said, "Duchess, if you're going to say something to me about 'meeting with the generals’, forget it. I think now everyone knows where you are with those brave generals. ”

Mrs. Lister also saluted Dewey, laughing, closing her eyes and looking at this clever widow: "Madam, I just met your brother, who made a very difficult request to me. Did you get your permission? ”

“Yes, my lord. If you're not in trouble, promise him.” Mrs. Lester sighed: "I think there is nothing more effective than a brutal war to allow a man to accelerate his maturity. And beside you, I wouldn't worry about his safety. ”

“War does accelerate maturity.” Dewey looks at Mrs. Lister, and if there is a deep sense: “Especially men. ”

Mrs. Lister's expression remained unchanged: "Thank you for your understanding. ”

Dewey pointed to two people: "Did you guys know each other before? ”

“Of course.” Mrs. Lister laughed. “Many years. ”

Then the woman looked at Dewey and said goodbye with a smile: "I think the Duchess must have a lot to discuss with His Highness, so I'll leave first. ”

When she walked past Dewey before she left, Dewey said a quick word in her ear that changed Mrs. Lester's expression.

“In the future… find a new swordsmanship teacher for Muse - a female teacher.” Dewey whispered softly: “He's grown up and swordsmanship can have a lot of physical contact. ”

But Mrs Lester's expression changed for only one second, and then she regained herself: “I'll think about it, thank you for your input. ”

Then she left, after the door closed. Dewey sighed a long time, and he walked up to the Virgin and sat in a chair, lazy, and said, "Okay, come on, you're here at this time, why? ”

“Is that how you treat a lady? Please note your demeanor.” The Virgin said, not warm or hot.

“Come on.” Dewey pointed at each other's nose: “You're not my friend, we know that very well. Now that there are no outsiders here, I'm too lazy to do those postures. And... to be honest, I didn't use a broom to kick you out of the Northwest, which is already a rare amount of tolerance. ”

The Virgin smiled a little bit, she smiled beautifully, even took off the veil on her face and sat there in front of Dewey, looking at Dewey, and the voice was a little sweet: "If I said I was here to get you in trouble, would you really do that? ”

Dewey thought about two wonderful bells: "Perhaps… depending on how much trouble you are looking for, if it's a big one, I wouldn't mind creating an accident that would cause you to ‘unfortunately’ die in the Northwest. I am sure that the distinguished Regent will not object. Of course, at your funeral, we all shed a few tears. ”

The Virgin laughed and her laughter was blatant and even unscrupulous. She leaned against Dewey with a friendly gesture. Dewey smelled the fragrance on her body, but she dodged away as if she had been poisoned: "Don't do this to me, Your Highness... I am not the dumb boy of the Marquis of Sena who was murdered by you. ”

“What if I came to help you?” The Virgin sat back in her seat.

“Oh?” Duvihaha laughed and said, "You want to help me? So my first reaction was to cover my wallet, and then look around and see if I fell into some kind of trap. My lord, I am a joker… but I am not used to joking with my enemies. ”

“You lack humor.” The Virgin sighed: “Let me get this straight, I can give you a great benefit. But I have my terms, too. ”

Dewey lifted her legs and looked at the woman with oblique eyes: "Tell me… but first let me remind you that my appetite is huge and the general benefits are hard to impress me. ”

The Virgin “hummed” and said, “You know, Northwest Army Lugo's men, there's a guy named Gujadoro, right? ”

Dewey stopped laughing, and he sat up straight: "Of course, Gujadoro, he had led troops around my capital, and he was one of Lugo's most trusted generals. ”

“You see.” The Virgin smiled and she smiled like a flower: "You've been touched by me, haven't you? ”

Dewey looked at this woman's smile and closed his eyes...

The prelude to the war began with a paper from the Imperial Capital.

“His Majesty the Emperor of the Roland Empire, the Commander of the Imperial Command, Lugo the Commander of the Imperial Northwest Legion and the generals of the Northwest Legion, the Commander of the Imperial Army, the resolution of the Commander of the Imperial Command, due to the ravages of northern warcraft, the entry of the Storm Legion into large-scale integration, the exchange of the Northwest Legion and the Storm Legion into the defensive zone, the Storm Legion taking over the Northwest Ward, the preparation of the Northwest Army for general matters within one month after receiving this order, and following the route of march prescribed by the Commander of the Army, to the Imperial North Ward Zone, and the Northwest Legion taking over the Northern Ward Zone. Personnel arrangements within the Northwest Army remained unchanged, and the head of the Northwest Army Regiment, Rugauga, sealed the Marquis title, commanding the Northern Ward, and the entire Army received double pay. Replacement must be completed within one month, otherwise military justice will be engaged.

- Imperial Military Command, Acting Secretary of State for Military Affairs (Signed) Robustschel, Empire Regent. ”

This paper, almost at the same time as it was sent to Fort Watt in the Northwest Army, was placed on Dewey's desk in exactly the same copy.

Without any doubt, when the contents of this paper spread, even idiots knew that the war was about to take place.
