Chapter Thirty-Five How to deal with it

Before Link arrived at his destination, the spider web spread the first-hand information about his departure from Wallan City. The transformation of the camp did not affect the organization's continued trafficking of intelligence.

The royal family's reputation fell to the bottom after the meeting in the Hall of Mirrors. In addition, Hornheim no longer supported the Kolk clan, and some nobles who had a good relationship with her changed their faces and drew a clear line with the already declining royal family. If no one was willing to stand up and take the lead, the palace might have been replaced.

This month, Franny hasn't had a good night's sleep. She is always imprisoned, driven out of the palace, or even woke up by a nightmare of public execution. Tonight is no exception. The pigeons raised specifically to receive spider web information flapping their wings and landing on the window frame.

[Link, the son of nature, left Woran, the White City when the night came, and flew westward. From the direction and in the afternoon, the messenger of the Vaulet City who had visited him, speculated that the purpose of his trip was most likely to be Vaulet.]

Franny crushed the information written on the enchanted paper book. It was not enough to interfere with Krenberg. Does he still want to interfere with Vaulet?

After dreaming at midnight, she regretted her hesitation countless times.

I missed the best opportunity. If I had sent the night elf assassin at that time, maybe my fate would have gone differently...

A low laugh suddenly came from the dormitory. Franni turned her head suddenly, and the dressing mirror placed against the wall emitted a strange red light. What reflected was not the indoor scene, but a dazzling bright red. A huge head stretched out from the scorching lava lake, and a dangerous red light flashed in her eyes. The mirror surface was like a passage to another world, transmitting the sound of this demonic covered with scales and horns from the abyss.

"Forgot your mentor's warning? Don't underestimate the Son of Nature who has the power of the Four Pillars of God. Unlike the two and three generations of electors, they are the true God's favor."

Farlanie walked to the dressing cabinet and lowered her head to greet the demon. But her tone was full of reluctance, "But didn't you say that the seal has not been completely untied yet? He is only slightly stronger than the ordinary son of nature now."

The demon tsk, "It seems you still don't understand that the Son of Nature is the messenger of the pillar in the material world, and he will observe the world instead of the pillar. As long as he obtains permission, he can use the power of the pillar without limit. The active second and third generations cannot be compared with the initial god of the world. Even if he only obtains the power of the pillar of the wind, he is not something that mortals can fight against."

Farlanie lowered her head, her hair covering the sinisterness in her eyes.

This is too unfair. Why can he destroy the achievements of my hard work for many years without any punishment? The pillar is clearly a messenger who favors himself.

"I don't quite understand the idea of ​​the ants, but it's quite interesting to see your hardships." The devil smiled dullly, "There are many low-level monsters in the material world. Just use them to try them, and you will know the strength of the Son of Nature."

Farlanie's dim eyes immediately lit up. "You mean, can I send monsters to assassinate Link, son of nature?"

"Why use the word "assassination" of self-destruction. It just so happens that Mother of the Night doesn't like that guy. It's better to kill him early. Once the power of the four pillars of gods is gathered, even I dare not say I will win." The demon's head sank into the rolling hot lava lake again.

The palm of her palm stinged, and Franni looked down and saw the mark of a multi-headed snake with its teeth and claws deeply imprinted in her palm like a brand.

Licking the blood that flowed out, the princess stared at the dark night sky and sneered silently.

Since you all choose to betray, there is no need for me to stick to that ridiculous principle anymore.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

With the accelerator, Link only took two days and one night to arrive at Waolet, the former Hornheim satellite city that changed little from the last time he left.

The market area is still so lively, and someone accidentally discovered the black spots in the sky.

"What is that?"

"Some kind of bird?"

Since the invasion of the undead, people have seen wild birds in the open areas for a long time. More and more people are looking up at the increasingly larger and larger black shadows in the sky. After a moment, people's doubts have turned into amazement.

"Oh my God. What a big bird!"

"It's Feng Falcon!"

"The son of nature must be the son of nature!"

Some people recognized the species of birds with blue and green feathers. The market area was in full swing, and some timids hid in the outer forests. However, most people chose to watch the wind falcons from far to near in the open area.

He was on close alert in case someone sneaked in. Centurion Fern also saw the giant wind flew towards Vaulet, and he hurried to report to Earl Sinil.

Sevis in the study was feeling uncomfortable. He got news from the spider web that made him uneasy. Many nobles were ready to take down Vaulet by force. In the past, with Hornheim's support, Vaulet did not need to control too many defenders. When Sevis took office, he only brought more than a hundred private soldiers. Even if mercenaries and newly recruited militias were included, there were only less than a thousand defenders in the entire city and could not resist the attacks of other nobles.

Even with the law of cause and effect promised by the son of nature, Sevis remained anxious until his most trusted centurion pushed open the door and shouted out loudly, "Come!"

What's coming?

Sevis felt inexplicably.

Because he was too excited and was panting hard, Fern pointed to the sky, "He's here...he's here..."

Sevis stood up, he already understood what Fern wanted to express.

The son of nature, Link, had a conversation three days ago. He said he would arrive as soon as possible, but he didn't expect it to come so soon. Even with a flying mount, it would be five days from Volant to Vaulet.

Without thinking too much, Sevis rushed out of the study and stopped when he walked into the courtyard. All the guards on duty looked up at the sky and followed their sights. He saw a scene that he would never forget for the rest of his life.

A total of half a wind falcon, the size of the city lord's mansion, flew over the mansion. Amid the sound of the rushing wind, the giant bird transformed into a human, and two women and a strong wolf fell along with him.

Sevis was stunned for a few seconds and hurried forward to greet him, "Hiss Link."

"I am familiar with you and I don't have to pay attention to these meaningless etiquettes." Link gave a brief introduction to the other two, one wolf, "This is Alicina, the great priest of the Morning Sect, and the other two are my devils, Doyle and Jafar."

The title of the great priest made Sevis dare not neglect and immediately ordered someone to clean the guest room.

Although he carried dry food with him, he couldn't have a good meal while traveling around the night. Link asked Alicina and Doyle to wash and eat first, and he and Sevis wanted to talk alone.

In the living room, Sevis told Link about Vaulet's recent situation and the information he found.

“Does the spider web provide a detailed list?”

"You mean... aristocrats who want to attack the city?" Sevis thought twice before he realized that Link's so-called detailed list refers to aristocrats who wanted to attack Vaulet. He shook his head. Although the spider web sold intelligence, it would not do anything. When they provided intelligence, they would always hide key parts to avoid offending the party who was exposed.

"How many defenders are there in the city?" Since there is no exact information from the attacking party, Link turned the topic to Waolet's own defense.

"My private soldiers are only 150, and the original garrison was exactly 300, and even the mercenaries and newly joined militias were not enough. This number of people could not be defended at all."

"Why are there so few?" Link was also shocked when he heard the number of people in Severes reported.

Vaulet is a big city with tens of thousands of people, why can’t even get a thousand people?

"Valot is different from other places. It used to be a place where only craftsmen and nobles were collected, and the barrier had been withdrawn..." Sevis explained that just after the Mirror Hall meeting, Hornheim withdrew the mage in the bookstore. Unicom's precious magical scriptures were also emptied. Without a mage, there would naturally be no one to maintain the barrier.

"Ho~ Hornheim..." Link sneered. He started playing the neutral style again. The royal family and Vaulet, who supported the independence, were not biased. Do you think that no one could offend? It would be better if the Druid had a bad relationship with Hornheim. The mage was in the city, so it would be better for me to build a temple here.

Sevis carefully observed Link's expression. I wonder if this sneer was tricky about Vaulet, or was he angry at Hornheim's slap?

"What do you think?"

Sevis cried with a sad face. What could he think? The "future" that Link described to him before has not yet been realized.

The dwarf ran away and the expansion was forced to end. Although the market area developed well, once a war broke out, he could not withstand the number of people at hand. According to the rules, the son of nature was not allowed to intervene in human internal affairs. He did not expect Link to help him defeat the invading enemy.

This is indeed what Link is worried about now. Krenberg was able to intervene because of the undead. Vaulet was just a fight between human aristocrats. He could not take action without rising balance and survival of species.

It confirmed that Link was indeed unable to help, and the hope that had just risen in Sevis' heart was extinguished again. He scratched his head in a hurry and paced back and forth.

"What a panic? Didn't you see I'm trying to figure out a solution?" He was upset by Serves who was wandering back and forth. Link asked him to find a place to sit down and not move around, and give himself some time to find a way.

The precepts of the Son of Nature only stipulate that no intervention or intervention within the species are allowed, so I don’t know where the bottom line and scale of intervention are? Lorelai, do you know?

【It depends on what you want to do.】

[For example... help Sevis complete the expansion of the suspended new city. The start of this happened before the nobles decided to attack Vaulet. It should not be considered as my intervention in the internal affairs of mankind? What's more, this is part of the Dwarf and Human Alliance led by me, and the pillar did not object at the beginning.] Link's consideration was to complete the expansion of the outer city first, increase defense while also increasing confidence for Vaulet's defenders.

[Whether the boundary is beyond the boundary, the standard lies in the pillar, not the world. I think the pillar should not abolish your qualifications just by such a small matter.]

Link breathed a little relieved, and then he thought of another question, [If I did nothing and did not express my opinion to help Sevis, I only use his presence in Vaulet to deter those nobles who wanted to attack... No, they might rely on my inability to take action to attack.]

[Jafar is a druid who cannot do it, but Doyle can do it. She is just your personal devil and a chaotic camp. As long as it is acted out of your will rather than your order, it is not your help.]

Link was not happy for a few seconds and his mood recovered from depression again. [There is only her, I am afraid it will be a drop in the bucket and it will be difficult to change the entire battle situation.]

In the case of sealing, Doyle has limited abilities unless there is a strong individual like the Son of Nature.

[Warring is not something that can be fought immediately. Even if the nobles are ready, your appearance will make them hesitate. It will be a while before they can't help but send troops. Before that, you can get the dwarves back. Or let the newly joined the alliance send troops.] Lorelai reminded Link that there are not only dwarves but also wood elves on his alliance plan list.

Wood Elf? Isn’t this an intervention? Link is puzzled.

[Let me tell you what you are good, sometimes too smart, sometimes too stupid to understand.] Lorelai gave a more detailed explanation, [The reason why the Son of Nature is not allowed to access the disputes within the species is because Son of Nature has the power to easily control the situation of the battle. Dwarves and Wood Elves are members of the alliance that you gathered together to fight against the undead. Vaulet was originally a satellite city in Hornheim, but now it has gained independence and autonomy. Even if there are any territorial disputes, it is still with Esson who was originally affiliated with. Other nobles have no right to interfere. If they want to force troops, you can let the Dwarves and Wood Elves send troops on the grounds of helping their allies. Anyway, the only ones who have concluded a deal against the undead with you are Hornheim and Vaulet. Actually, I have a more convenient method, and I don’t know if you dare to adopt it.]

More convenient? Do you dare? Link suddenly had a bad feeling.

[I know a magic circle that can travel through the space and reach the abyss. You go there to find some powerful demons to sign a contract. Let them fight as a demon, and you can easily settle ordinary nobles. However, once you do this, it is equivalent to breaking with the morning light. He is a good god of order and will never allow uncontrollable chaotic creatures in the material world.]

[What happened to the one summoned by Shuanghan? There are also big traps. Aren’t there many monsters there?]

[The focus of attention is wrong...] Lorelai couldn't help but complain, [Do you really want to become a Fallen?]

[This is a bad decision. I will never use it until the crisis is in a while.] Although it feels a pity, Link will not lose his identity as a guardian in order to change the city lord. This is completely different from being occupied by the undead. However... He used the law of cause and effect to ensure the position of Sevis as the city lord. If he replaced him, wouldn't it mean that he would be backfired?

Lorelai once advised Link not to use the law of cause and effect indiscriminately, but unfortunately he didn't care at all, and he was so stubborn that he almost drove her crazy.

[What else can I use without the law of cause and effect? ​​My mental power is pitifully low, just use a few big moves, okay... I can see the bottom of my mental illness just by just a few ranges of spells. The same is true for magic. I don’t know much about spells, and I don’t even know any countermeasures. Do you want me, a person classified as a priest, to carry weapons to fight with me? Don’t tease, my close combat skills are even worse.] After venting in one breath, Link touched his forehead helplessly, and he became emotional again.

【Sorry, I was so angry.】

[I know you have no choice but to bet on your life to use the law of cause and effect.] Lorelai was not angry. She just hoped that Link would be more cautious. [Your life is not only your own, but also related to the fate of this world. Although you have no relatives here, you still have friends, the young grand duke of Befest, Doyle, who just adopted her daughter, and Orlando, who was reborn because of you, are all you who care about you. Don't take your life seriously.]

[I understand, I will not use myself as a bet on the law of cause and effect in the future.] Link begged for mercy, [Let's go back to the whole question, is there any other way to solve it?]

[There will definitely be methods, such as Krenberg's stone golem and alchemy puppets, which can be used as guards.] Lorelai proposed another feasible method. In Link's view, this is much more reliable than catching the demons in the abyss, and there is no need to sacrifice the lives of the defenders. However, it is impossible to help Sevis solve the crisis so easily.

"If you survived this crisis, would you consider your future development?" After thinking for a long time, Link suddenly said this.

Serves had no idea how to think so far, and just how to deal with enemies from unknown aspects was enough for him to have a headache.

"In fact, you can develop Vaulet into a must-pass place for business paths that integrate religion and economy. Independent politics just gives Vaulet the space for free development, and can absorb some gods with high mutual acceptance, build temples, absorb believers, and have the protection of gods. It is much better than becoming a fatty meat that others can see as they are now. But this also has relative risks. Gods will compete for believers, which is easy to cause riots, and you don't have enough people to deter them, and sooner or later something big will happen."

Hearing this, Serves, who was originally a little confused, felt that he vaguely understood what Link wanted to express.

"The nobles believe in either Chenxi or Malik. Now Malik has changed his camp and no longer wants to hide it in the past. He can openly believe in it openly. But... don't forget that the conflict between Malik and Chenxi has been around for a long time and cannot be worshipped in the same city at the same time, but no matter who you choose, your life will not be better." Link shook the ring in his hand at Sevis, implying that Malik and he are still ally.

"so……"

"Let the Nature Sect become the only religion of Vaulet." This is the solution that Link thought of. The Son of Nature cannot interfere with human internal affairs, but if Vaulet is the location of the temple of the Nature Sect, the nature of the matter is different. He can participate in the war with the reason of protecting the temple. (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!
