"Speaking of..."
Annan noticed that Maria seemed unhappy.
So he immediately changed the subject and said: "I will choose to send Noah as envoy at this time...actually because I am worried that something will happen to you."
"Are you worried about me?"
Kafni asked quietly in Annan's ear.
Her long hair at the temples fell between Annan's collarbones along his white robe.
This made Annan feel itchy and wanted to reach out and sweep it out.
At this moment, Kafni hugged Annan even tighter - she held Annan's waist with her right hand a little harder, causing Annan's upper body to tilt back slightly and lie on top of her. Kafni herself leaned back on the sofa.
She put her hair in front of her left shoulder, and then put Annan's long hair in front of her right shoulder. He buried his head into Annan's neck like no one else was around and took a deep breath.
Annan was in a trance, always feeling that Kaifuni's method was more like a domineering president...or rather, it was like the way he used to play with cats and dogs.
It was only then that Annan suddenly realized that... his strength attribute seemed to be only fifteen points?
Without the will bonus of the Victory Knight, his strength attributes are not even half as good as Kafni's as the Dragon Capturing Monk. So much so that he couldn't even struggle at all.
...Is this relationship misplaced?
Annan couldn't help coughing twice and whispered: "You are right...because the senior told me that you are in trouble here.
"But I have succeeded to the throne and hold the authority of the Grand Duke of Winter. If I secretly leave Winter, there will be a lot of unnecessary trouble. Unless I go through the formal state visit channels and submit a diplomatic application..."
"Thank you, my lord."
Kafni thanked her softly, with a bit of disgust on her face: "But Mr. Salvatore really has a lot of things to do... I originally planned to do it myself."
"So that means the problem isn't really that big?"
Maria asked with a frown.
Kafni shook her head: "That's not true.
"Let him explain this matter in person later - he has been living in the royal capital since last month. His home is not far from the palace... Since I specially put it in The house he invited was naturally the house I found for him, and it was arranged nearby.
"When I went back to change clothes, I had already sent someone to notify Salvatore. If he didn't have any experiments, he should be here soon."
Kafni lowered her head again, took a deep breath of Annan, and made a soft sound again.
Annan asked: "Is the problem with the eldest princess? When I came over just now, I saw that she seemed to have an absolute advantage."
"It's not..."
Kafni shook her head and was about to explain.
Salvatore's somewhat sleepy voice came from outside the room: "No, it's His Royal Highness Philip - the problem lies with him."
He said, pushing the door open and coming in.
Salvatore's first action after entering the door was to hold on to the door handle and let out a big, long yawn:
"Oh~ah..."
"You look very sleepy, senior."
“Ah, I’m so sleepy all the time.”
Salvatore smacked his mouth lazily and glanced at Annan, who was held in Kafni's arms, with a "Sure enough" expression on his face. And they bowed to Annan and Maria respectively.
And Maria continued to explain to Annan: "In the past few months, it is not that I have done nothing. To be considered a 'contender for the throne' is naturally not just about shouting slogans. .
"I got quite strong support - I took over the army controlled by her from the eldest princess."
"...How did you do it?"
Annan Qi said.
You know, the eldest princess is from the military. Now the top general of the army was promoted by her with her own hands. This is the most stable card in the eldest princess's hand.
"It is peace, my lord."
Kafni replied without any hesitation: "This is all thanks to you.
"It was when His Majesty summoned you last time that I learned about 'that' secret. I realized... Your Majesty has been forcibly recruiting troops from all over the country, not because he really wants to unify the five countries, but on the contrary It's because he wants to destroy Noah.
“Because conscription has been going on for quite some time, it will cost a lot of money to demobilize a large number of people, and a large number of laborers who have received military training but are full of complaints will flow back into the city, which will create social problems. It's turbulent. But if we don't care, sooner or later Noah will be dragged down by these unemployed troops... At that time, we will have to fight if we don't fight."
Kafni said slowly: "However, the soldiers previously launched a war against Winter... and the result was actually a failure.
"Even if the frozen water port is captured, it is completely impossible to land in the winter mainland. The frost beast troops are too terrifying, enough to cause a devastating blow to morale... and the front across the Great Barrier is even more difficult. Transportation logistics. After that war, many veterans actually didn’t want to fight anymore.
"At first, they listened to their grandfather's words. They hoped to seize wealth and land from other countries. But after they really left Noah and arrived in other countries... they saw with their own eyes that the lands of other countries Far less fertile than Noah, the climate is too cold to survive, and the sky is filled with never-ending blizzards.
"There is no point in such land... They were fooled."
"So, they actually want to leave the military."
Salvatore yawned again, smacked his lips, and then said: "But they don't want to leave just like that -"
"They want money."
Annan simply summed it up: "Because they have spent a lot of time, if they don't get enough severance pay in the end, it will be too much of a waste."
"That's right. But the eldest princess can't agree...Although she doesn't agree with His Majesty's fantasy of 'unifying the five countries', and doesn't think that invading the winter is a meaningful thing. But she looks at it To the United Kingdom."
Salvatore explained: "There is also the sunken Elf Imperial City - these armies may be worthless to invade the winter. But if they invade the United Kingdom, they may be able to win a great victory.
"Because the so-called 'United Kingdom of Denisoya and the Field Islands' is actually still dominated by Denisoa. And many islands in the Field Islands are dissatisfied with this status quo. If Noah's army directly If it refers to Danny Sawyer, I am afraid that he will not be blocked by the Field Islands, and may even get help.
"After controlling Denisoa, you can dive eastward into the deep sea to salvage the ruins of the submerged Elf Imperial City."
"It is indeed a well-organized plan."
Annan agreed: "So her idea is to transform the army into a navy?"
The army used to fight the Principality of Winter is of little significance when facing Denisoya, which is surrounded by sea, has a small territory, and has multiple affiliated islands. And it cannot provide any help in salvaging the most valuable "relics of the Elf Age".
"That's true," Kafni said softly, "but the war-weariness in the army is very high. And I have received assistance from the Silver Lord Church... They can provide part of the severance pay and help the unemployed Emphasize employment for soldiers and find good jobs for them."
This is something that only the Silver Jue Church can do.
They are indeed generally short of manpower... and if this plan goes well, not only can a group of controlled youth labor be added to various cities, but the power of the church itself can continue to grow. And Noah's army, which is like a time bomb, can also solve this problem again.
Forging swords into plowshares—wiping the **** of the militaristic Henry VIII.
"...I understand."
Annan understood Kaifni's thinking.
The first thing she did was to "bury the holes dug by Henry VIII one by one." What Henry VIII wanted to do was to destroy the country invisibly... But Kaifuni only needed to do the opposite to fundamentally solve these problems immediately.
But the eldest princess couldn't bear it. It's impossible for her to give up.
She watched her father carry out these reforms and even participated in them. Even if she knew most of them were of little benefit, she wouldn't be able to change them all back...she doesn't have the guts.
I can only think about whether there is any way to remedy this.
"Converting the Army into the Navy and developing Wangli's maritime heritage excavation industry - this idea is actually quite good. If you still have enough energy after disbanding a large number of troops, you can actually do this."
Annan commented: "Isn't this great? If you get the support of the army, many nobles will turn to you, right?
"What about Prince Philip? What did he do?"
"He didn't do anything. ~IndoMTL.com~ Salvatore looked serious: "This is the most problematic thing.
"Because he did nothing and just ate, drank and had fun at home every day - but nobles continued to fall in love with him. Among them were even die-hard loyalists of the original eldest princess. Her Highness Kafni doubted whether he had used any soul-stealing spells. , or she has made a potion to control human nature, so she asked me to help her investigate."
He took a deep breath and said slowly: "But, there is nothing."
"Nothing?"
"That's right. At least as far as the current investigation is concerned, he really didn't do anything - he didn't use forbidden potions, he didn't use forbidden rituals, he didn't use soul-stealing spells to change other people's minds, and he didn't use idol spells. Reversal of destiny.
"He did not give any lectures, nor did he bribe the nobles. He did not even send them gifts... But there were baseless submissions, and when he asked them, he could not get any useful information. Valuable intelligence.
"At the beginning, there were only two or three individuals. But in the past week alone, there have been four or five established nobles."
Senior Salvatore pressed his temples with a headache and frowned: "I really can't think of a way... Even 'Vatore' can't figure out why.
"Although the problem has not been discovered yet, I feel that I cannot delay it any longer - this is just my intuition.
"So, although it may be a bit rude. But I still called you over..."
Salvatore sat on the unoccupied sofa facing Annan, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it all.
"Annan...can I call you that?"
He looked at Annan and said seriously: "I think only you can solve this mystery."
