Chapter 190 The Black Swan Incident
Chapter 190 The Black Swan Incident
When the last layer of magic barrier disappeared in the holy and ethereal female voice, the country of St. Panier also came to an end, and the coalition soldiers carrying countless magic coins and absorbing the magic energy outside Maibei Valley were already hungry and thirsty , Rushing into the palace is like entering the land of no one.
The slave owners fled in all directions, some still brought countless treasures, some lay on the ground trembling, and some simply killed everything and committed suicide neatly.Most of the slaves who can live here are confidantes, somewhat capable. Surprisingly, these slaves are people who resist desperately. They cast magic, raise swords, bite their teeth and beat their hands, just to let their masters escape. .
However, where to escape?
Slave owners don't want to go to non-slavery countries, not to mention that many of them have no ability, no matter whether they have magic, business or technology, some are just countless slaves left by their ancestors, and even many slaves After reaching the level of an intermediate mage, there are countless opportunities to strangle the useless master.
"So what? They are slaves, so naturally they should be ruled by me!" The young slave owner was still screaming with blood streaming down his face, "This is the law of nature, it is always like this... Aww!"
The latter was interrupted by a Middle Kingdom man who swung a mace - exactly the kind Nelson had seen - at the slave owner in the face, and struck Just hit a concussion level of 999 damage, and sent the slave owner directly to meet his ancestors.
After spitting, the human resource of the Central Kingdom calmly said to the slave: "You are free, do you want to come to the Central Kingdom?"
Before the slave could answer, someone from Luoxie rushed up and shouted: "Slaves must pass screening before they can move freely! Come here!"
This kind of slaves who have entered the ranks of mages is the manpower that the nobles of all countries want. They are gentle, strong and hardworking. They don't need to pay a dime, so naturally they cannot be let go. These slaves are also one of the trophies.
Human Resources frowned slightly, and didn't say anything else. He was very aware of his own strength, and His Majesty also repeatedly emphasized not to rob people with the coalition forces. He had no choice but to nod to the slave and was about to leave. However, his sleeve was pulled Living.
This slave is not young, about 40 years old, and he is a veritable "old man" in this world, but he is well dressed, his skin is wrinkled but not very dark, and he seems to live a good life, if it is not for his face The magic mark on it doesn't look like any slave at all.
"I..." The old slave seemed to muster up his courage, and it took a long time before he said, "I want to go to the Middle Kingdom."
HR's eyes lit up: "Yes, brother, come on, we..."
"I said that slaves must go through a unified screening!" The Luoxie soldier pushed the human resources impatiently, "Can't you understand human language? Can you interpret magic?"
Human Resources is also a young and strong man, his expression is already very bad at this time, he sneered and said: "Of course I don't understand, I am a countryman after all, but which majesty announced which order said that all slaves Need to pass the screening? Huh? Where, in what way, which one was announced? Come, come, tell me."
How can the Luoxie soldiers tell it, this is really not his problem, no local king's publicity decrees are recorded in writing, even now that paper is widely circulated, the kings are still accustomed to the way of preaching by human power, because there was no Inexpensive written media, now because of the inherent tradition and the fact that paper has not spread widely in the West.
On the other hand, Tambunita is not only used to paper announcements, but also newspapers have long been popular, not to mention the Middle Kingdom. There are special newspapers that publish various new policies, on the one hand for propaganda and as some kind of evidence , The library will also collect government orders and laws over the years for records.
If someone asks a person in the Middle Kingdom this way, the person will immediately take out the newspaper and point to a certain line on a certain page and say "Look, it's here". After this habit is formed, the residents of the Middle Kingdom will always follow the policy After handling the affairs, if you don't follow the instructions, you will feel uneasy, because once a dispute arises, you will have no confidence.
The Rochester soldier was questioned by a "countryman" from the Middle Kingdom. His face turned from white to red, then from red to green. He grabbed the collar of the human resource and shouted angrily, "What are you farting? Are you brave enough to talk back to the mage? I see you are impatient!"
The human resource person calmly dug his ear with his little finger, blowing away a piece of dirt, and said calmly, "I even threw stones at Chester. You are a mage, can you compare with a god?"
Of course a sorcerer cannot compare with a god, but a sorcerer dares to compare with a "countryman" who doesn't know magic. And right in the crotch!
No matter how strong the Master is, it is not in vain to let the soldiers get close...
At the end of November, when the first winter snow covered Yuecheng and Maibei Valley at the same latitude, Cecil learned of the dispute after arriving. Alexander, who had been staying in Maibei Valley, said it in a joking tone, and the behind-the-scenes message The message is subtle.
The human resource was beaten up and tied up in the coalition barracks. He couldn't die, but he definitely didn't feel well. The mage kept clamoring for the execution of the "civilian who dared to beat the mage", which was indeed a formal crime in Luoxie.Due to this dispute, the atmosphere between the people of the Middle Kingdom and the coalition forces has become increasingly dangerous. If the medical team had not saved many lives, the coalition forces would have dared to kill people directly. Even so, the people of the Middle Kingdom would not dare to leave Mai Beigu, there is no magic power in Mai Beigu, but it is safer.
Cecil's first reaction after hearing this: If you have the ability, you can take out the regulations that slaves must be selected first!
He knew that Alexander could take it out if he wanted to, but wouldn't he be full to wait for him to deal with such a trivial matter?After all, Alexander pulled the "small dining table" of the two kings and the two kings, and there must be something that cannot be said on the stage.
"What do civilians know? They've been beaten, and they can be expelled." Cecil smiled and said, "You still care about these trivial matters? The demise of St. Panier is what a king should care about."
"Of course!" Alexander's expression stretched a bit. Recently, news about "Alexander the Liberator" has spread all over the place, and he just feels uncomfortable in every part of his body. "However, I am also worried that the civilians under your name are too rude. These people are ignorant and need to be taught well, blood and sword can make them fearful."
Are you the one determined to kill me?are you crazy!
Cecil squeezed out a business smile, and changed the topic: "Do you have anything to ask me?"
Alexander smiled reservedly: "Actually, it's nothing special, but I still don't understand how you used a spread magic to make that sentence heard by all mages all over the world? And why is it so special that you only use healing magic?" in? Is there a trick to this?"
It turned out to be for this!
Cecil restrained his impatience, and said, "You can't ask me about this, you have to ask my dear."
Langdon took over the topic smoothly, bringing out the nonsense that had been honed over and over again, which involved many professional terms of magic, which fell to Cecil's ears as English listening. He calmly waited for this matter to be fooled. Thinking that Alexander did not speak for a long time after listening.
The atmosphere was getting worse and worse, and Cecil's eyes flicked back and forth between Alexander and Langdon, then glanced at Baker, and got a slight shake of the head with a sinking face.
"Your royal knight is really knowledgeable." Alexander smiled, "The magic aptitude is so good."
Cecil felt that something was wrong when he heard it. He and Langdon had been together for a long time. If others wanted to praise Langdon, they would definitely say "His Royal Highness Langdon is well-deserved" or "The super legendary mage is really powerful", and there would be no one at all. It is praised from the perspective of Wang Qi, after all, the title of Wang Qi really has nothing to praise.
Alexander suddenly said: "Baker, why don't you accompany His Majesty of the Middle Kingdom tonight."
Cecil's expression changed immediately, and his smile could no longer hold on: "What do you mean?"
Alexander seemed a little surprised. He looked at Cecil and laughed and said, "What's wrong with you? I'm not the kind of king who doesn't treat Wang Qi as a person casually." Baker's hand sent out a smile, "Langdon's terms will not humiliate Baker at all!"
Fuck you, are you going to change your "wife"? !
Cecil's heart was flying wildly. The two kings still smiled as before. He was still thinking about how to solve it. Alexander had already stood up with a confident smile: "You can think about it before making a decision. We will talk about how to solve it tomorrow." Let's settle that little civil dispute."
I have to say that Cecil is not a mature leader in terms of controlling expressions. After Alexander and Baker left, he sat at the table with a gloomy face, thinking about countless ways to tear Alexander apart. It's a pity. Yes, none of them can.
Either sacrifice Langdon's "virginity" or sacrifice that commoner...
"Did Baker say something?" Cecil asked.
"It's possible." Langdon gave a vague answer, "Don't worry, it's just a night with Alexander..."
"You let me think about it," Cecil rarely interrupted Langdon.
If it is a monarch, even if it is just someone with ambition, I am afraid that he will make a decision at this time. After all, what Alexander said is a small matter, the life and death of a commoner, or the night of a "servant", no matter which one is big , That's why Alexander was so surprised by Cecil's reaction, these are really nothing.
Unfortunately, Cecil has never been a king, and has a natural rebellious mentality towards superiors. This is a kind of three views that cannot be changed. Even if the stars change, tens of millions of light years cannot change his mind.
Too painful!Really too painful!
Strongly saying "I want both" is likely to offend Alexander. Baker secretly sent a message in the middle of the night. Alexander was very displeased with Cecil's hesitation. Baker warned that since the "Magic Advertisement" incident, Alexander has been wary of the Middle Kingdom. Plus, it wasn't as easy as it seemed on the surface. If Alexander really felt that this involved a major national event, he might strike directly on the spot. After all, there are all coalition forces around at this moment, especially the Rochester soldiers.
In any case, Alexander couldn't understand Cecil's idea that civilians should not be killed if they are innocent. A commoner, as long as he pays ten Luoyuan as a fine, this is Luoxie's magic coin.
Naturally, he couldn't understand why Cecil felt the need to choose between these two things.
Cecil's face was suddenly held in warm hands, and Langdon forced him to look over: "Cecil, listen to me, this is just a small matter, do you want to ruin your entire future because of this matter? It is impossible for us to confront Luoxie head-on now. Neither I nor that civilian can be said to be sacrificed, understand? The steel monsters you are looking forward to, those explosives, the pain in front of you is for the future, as long as people are still alive. has hope!"
The more I said this, the more painful it was for Cecil: Why didn't I develop gunpowder earlier?Why do I think business can fight against everything?Just because I am not good at it, I will not overcome it or touch it. When will I overcome this problem?How much does it cost me to learn to face difficulties head on!
Cecil covered his face and calmed down, and said, "Can you...can you leave me alone?"
Langdon observed for a moment, then said, "Don't do anything stupid."
"No." Cecil forced a smile.
Langdon hesitated for a moment, and said, "No, I won't leave. Once I leave, you must pray to God."
Cecil: "..."
Langdon hit the spot.
Before coming here, Cecil did know about this matter through Baker's insider, but he thought he would lose some money at most. After all, this is really not a big deal. He never expected that Alexander would take a fancy to Langdon. It can be said that no one expected the sign. Besides, it was not the first time for Alexander to see Langdon. If he had already shown his face, he would not have waited until now.
Now Cecil is equivalent to being trapped here. He underestimated Alexander too much, and at the same time believed Baker's analysis too much.
Caught off guard by the predicament, Cecil was accomplished by the Gay Knights, and also cheated by the Gay Knights.
"Will Baker trick us on purpose?" Cecil asked feebly.
"He's not Alexander, so how could he know everything? Besides, even in the current situation, it's not a big deal." Langdon persuaded, "There's nothing wrong with Baker's actions. It's because you made too much fuss."
"But Alexander wants... You really have no idea about this matter." Cecil said helplessly.
Langdon frowned, which also puzzled him.
"I can refuse?" Cecil asked.
"Of course." Langdon said, "But two things displeased Alexander at the same time. This is not a good sign."
"He dares to kill me?"
"Not at all," Langdon said. "However, we have so many people here."
The problem is here, if only Cecil and Langdon just cast a spell and slipped away, is there still such a dilemma.Forget about businessmen, if there are too many casualties in the medical class, Cecil will feel distressed to death. This is a modern medical talent that has been cultivated with great difficulty. It took several years to inculcate modern medical knowledge.
"Actually, we can think of other ways." Langdon said, "After all, we still have an ally here that no one else knows."
Cecil was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly reacted: Number six!
Alexander slept well that night. When he woke up, he asked Becker to help him get dressed, "Is there any news from the Central King?"
Baker laughed: "Your Majesty, do you really want to try something new?"
"Of course Langdon is different from you." Alexander turned around and held Baker's hand, whispering, "We are long-term soul mates, and Langdon is just passing through."
"He is an ultra-legendary mage valued by the Magic Association." Baker reminded calmly, while showing a jealous expression.
Alexander smiled: "How can there be a super legendary mage to be a king's cavalry...My dear, I am not talking about you, we are different, after all, he is a weak and incompetent king, neither brave nor magic, Would a super-legendary mage be willing to lie under such a person? How is it possible!"
Baker echoed, and laughed in his heart: You deserve it, Langdon!
Due to the arrival of Cecil, Maibeitan gathered three kings at this time: Heidenholm of the Holy Thunder came to send the hundred experimental mages to see if they could take advantage of Maibeitan, and Alexander, who had finished searching and was about to evacuate , and Cecil who came to pick him up and cheated, but was cheated instead.
In the morning when the sun was high, the three kings gathered at Mana Well 300, [-] meters away.
"I don't want to go to that ghostly place." Heidenholm's expression was the worst. "I don't even feel comfortable here."
Cecil said contentedly: "Really? I don't feel anything."
Alexander laughed: "It seems that there is an advantage even if you don't have magic."
As soon as these words were said, the other two kings realized something at the same time, Cecil said nonchalantly, "I'm here for business, what's your business?"
The other two kings had also heard Langdon's nonsense about the mana well, so of course they were unwilling to leave at this time, and they all had the attitude of "I'll just take a look and not talk".
"Then wait."
This wait lasted for four days. Cecil stood at the Mana Well to look at the scenery every day during the day, and Langdon followed. Whoever passed by would close his eyes and meditate, as if he was doing something important.
Alexander mentioned several times about human resources and Langdon, but Cecil said, "There's no rush when I'm done." That's it. On the fifth day, a team of carriages from the Middle Kingdom arrived.
Seeing a large number of children running out of the carriage chattering, Alexander and Heidenholm, who came here on purpose, were stunned.
Cecil, who had been pretending to be dead near the mana well, came out to greet him with a smile. He touched the head of this child and pulled the ear of the other child. After a while, he burst into tears, and was stared at by the expressionless teaching knight with death eyes. live.
Cecil led the group of crying children and the two kings and two kings to the Mana Well. This time he did not sit outside to watch the scenery, but led the children directly. Today's mana well seemed to shrink a bit, Heidenholm endured the discomfort and followed to the well, looking at the dark well down there with a hint of fear.
"Go down and feel it." Cecil said loudly to the children. These children hadn't used any magic yet, and they were all at a loss. "Don't go too deep, at most two or three steps will do! Be careful not to fall Go down, the big one takes the little one!"
Adults who can use magic are of course not suitable to go down. Heidenholm has already started to retch. He is indeed a descendant of an ultra-legendary mage.
The children were tied with safety ropes and entered the mana well one by one. The second and third steps could be seen from the side of the well. Some young children were not as tall as the steps, and they seemed to jump over the wall when they descended the steps. , looks very cute.
"Central King, what is going on with you?" Alexander couldn't help it.
"Oh, these children can only cast spells but can't use magic. I wonder if this is a magic energy well. Let's see if I can soak it in it so that they can use magic." Cecil said.
The two kings looked at each other and laughed at the same time. Heidenholm's expression changed halfway through the smile, and he ran to the side and vomited.
"Magic doesn't work like this..." Alexander showed a pitiful expression, "Magic energy is everywhere, there is no need to go here, and too strong magical energy is not good for mages."
"Oh, I'm just trying." Cecil said.
"You're wasting talents like this!" Alexander sighed, "However, these are your people, and I don't care about them."
Not only can it be ignored, but should also be celebrated and encouraged, right?Cecil knew this well.
After several children slipped their feet and were hung in the air, finally all the children had "soaked" and climbed up with excited faces. After a lot of discussion, it took a long time to teach the knights to calm them down.
"Recall the incantation of Fireball." The teacher taught the knight loudly, "If you remember, raise your hand."
All the children raised their hands.
"Okay, read it silently in your heart." The teaching knight said again.
A group of children were silent, their little faces full of serious expressions.
"Now, raise your hands and say the spell!"
Childish voices rang out one after another, and a few seconds later, a large number of bright spots appeared in the field of vision, and the number reached one person!
"Throw it out!" shouted the teaching knight.
"Hey!"
"what!"
"ah!"
A large piece of small fireball was thrown towards a place where no one was around, and the surrounding area was full of mud, and the fireball was extinguished as soon as it touched the mud.
The two kings were a little surprised and then returned to their normal expressions. If it was a magic school, it would not be surprising to have such a performance. The only doubt is that the children who have soaked in the magic energy well did not feel uncomfortable at all.
"Children, do you feel uncomfortable?" Alexander said.
The little kids said "the rope is uncomfortable", "it's too cold in here", etc., but no one mentioned the classic symptoms of drunkenness.
"It's really good." Alexander sincerely praised this time, after all, the youngest of these children is only four years old, "Your magic elite class?"
"No, it's easy to manage children who adults don't have time to bring together." Cecil said casually.
The two kings made a gesture of leaving. Unexpectedly, they taught the knights and said, "Who remembers the spell of lighting?"
Another piece of neat little hands.
Alexander laughed: "How could there be magic bits, but..." He stopped talking, and after the spell was over, another small spot of light lit up, but it was less than the number just now, only about half of it. one.
Heidenholm and Alexander stayed for a while, wisely not speaking, just waiting.
Sure enough, after a while, the teaching knight shouted again: "Who remembers the art of bread?"
Fewer children succeeded this time, only one-third.
"Who remembers making water?"
This time there were only six children left, and the oldest was only five years old. However, there was no end to it after that, and low-level magic appeared one after another. Every time one appeared, the expressions of Heidenholm and Alexander became duller.
"Play whatever you want!" The instructing knight checked the low-level spells taught, and said, "You can throw lighting spells at each other, but you are not allowed to throw water and fireballs!"
The six children immediately raised their hands laughingly, throwing a lighting technique in each hand, and the small light balls flew all over the sky, but they were not tired.
"Impossible... Impossible!" Alexander yelled, "Why are they not limited by the magic bit! This is impossible!"
