Chapter 47 I Worry About This World (Thanks to the leader "Cheese Fish" for the reward!)

"The culprits who led the reforms and ordered the destruction and pollution of the Magic Forest are Calvin and his followers."

Sugar Witch Bev thought for a moment and said.

"If we can completely make this guy disappear, the problem will be greatly improved."

Hearing this, Wang Xi felt that it was not that simple.

For Calvin to possess such great power, he must have the support of the Stag Royal Family and a large group of common interests.

It's not easy to get rid of him.

At this time, Pinocchio hesitated and said:
"This Calvin you guys keep talking about..."

He looked around at everyone.

"Is that Calvin Plank?"

"That's right," Bev nodded. "It's said he's the second prince of the Clockwork Kingdom, bringing advanced technology from across the sea, which earned him the favor of the human queen... Do you know him?"

Pinocchio was a little surprised and nodded:
"Of course I know you!"

As he spoke, he frowned.

"But he wasn't a so-called prince. He was a poor boy who could barely afford to go to school... My father took him in and treated him as a student. But he turned against me, stole my father's research materials, and disappeared three years ago."

"I didn't expect him to escape here and fabricate an identity. He used this technology as leverage to gain the support of the royal family and stir up trouble."

"That's terrible!"

Pinocchio's face was filled with disgust and he clenched his fists.

After hearing this, everyone knew the true identity of the future king's husband and were a little surprised.

Wang Xi thought of something and raised his eyebrows.

He asked the sugar witch with blonde hair and a pink dress:

"Ms. Bev, may I ask what the relationship was like between the Magic Forest and the Stag Kingdom before Calvin showed up?"

"Not bad, not bad."

Bev took a sip of wine and said with emotion:
"Both sides have not offended each other and are relatively peaceful. We are wary of the Ice Queen and have restrained our monsters from harming anyone. The other side, in turn, dares not arbitrarily invade the Magic Forest due to the presence of us sisters and the Monster Lord."

Wang Xi seemed to be thinking about something, and then asked:

"So what do you know about Queen Siana?"

"I heard she's a kind and benevolent queen, still very young, only in her early twenties."

Bev replied.

"Her father, the previous Stag King, Frank King, died two years ago. When Siana King ascended the throne and wore the crown, she was only nineteen years old."

Hearing this, Wang Xi fell into deep thought.

Combining this information, he had a vague idea of ​​an answer. As long as Queen Siana herself didn't want to destroy the Magic Forest, the problem would be much easier to solve.

"Pinocchio, what was the research Calvin stole from your father?"

Although the boy was puzzled and didn't know why Kai asked this, he answered truthfully:

"Some weapon design drawings, and a first draft of the 'Puppet Army'."

The Robot Army...

Wang Xi narrowed his eyes.

"So, this 'Puppet Army' must have backdoors and safeguards, right?"

"Of course," Pinocchio nodded. "In my father's vision, codes of conduct and multiple levels of authority should be embedded within the puppet."

"how about you?"

Wang Xi asked.

"Pinocchio, do you also have this code of conduct and multiple levels of authority?"

However, the boy shook his head.

"I'm an exception. As the first robot my father created, he didn't place any restrictions on me... but that's also why I angered the Elders."

"Those guys forced my father to destroy me, but he didn't. Instead, he quietly sent me out of the Clockwork Kingdom... I wandered all the way and ended up here."

After learning about Pinocchio's life story, Wang Xi nodded. He thought for a moment and said to the witches in a deep voice:
"Calvin is a greedy man with unbridled ambition. He definitely has reservations about the Stag Royal Family."

"Witch ladies, I have a guess."

"He forged his identity, used technology as leverage, and arranged a marriage with Queen Siana. His intentions are likely more than just weapon reform... He's most likely trying to create his own army of mechas, thereby completely controlling the Stag Kingdom."

"The Magic Forest is a catalyst that can be easily exploited. He can easily portray you as a powerful enemy that threatens the kingdom, thereby inspiring fear among the royal family and ministers, and making the Queen and other high-ranking officials even more dependent on him."

Bev nodded in agreement.

She sighed again:
"Actually, if there's a better way to defeat Calvin, we'd rather not go to war with the kingdom..."

"But as time goes by, the pollution and damage to the Magic Forest will only get worse. With our homes destroyed and monsters dead, what will become of our future?"

Bev smiled on her face, which was flushed by the bitter wine, and whispered to Wang Xi:

"We are very lucky to have met Mr. Gai. Although you are a human being, you are willing to speak for us."

"After listening to your analysis, I have an idea, but it may require Mr. Gai to take a risk..."

"Miss Bev, please speak."

Wang Xi responded politely.

The pink-skirted witch nodded and said softly:

"Mr. Gai's original plan was to approach Minister Ando through demon hunting commissions, and thus further contact Queen Siana... but I think this will be difficult."

"Indeed."

Wang Xi smiled helplessly.

He hadn't been entirely confident to begin with, and was simply giving it a try. Simply completing a demon hunting commission wouldn't be enough to convince Andor to introduce him to the Queen.

"So you need to change your identity."

Bev smiled.

"A status that allows one to have an equal dialogue with the Queen."

"Miss Bev means..."

Wang Xi understood something and continued the conversation:
"Will you allow me to be your messenger and deliver the warning about the Magic Forest to the Queen?"

"Mr. Gai is indeed smart."

Bev said with a smile.

But there was a hint of indifference in her eyes.

"But it's not a warning, it's a declaration of war!"

Declare war...

Wang Xi was so confused.

He was just a messenger, and he was afraid that the kingdom would immediately identify him as a traitor and kill him to vent their anger... Moreover, this would not only intensify the conflict, but would play into Calvin's hands!
"I believe that with Mr. Gai's eloquence, he can persuade Queen Siana to stop invading the Magic Forest." Bev said with a smile.

Wang Xi's face froze.

I?
Convince the Queen?

That's right?

Isn't this the same as asking me to capture Tang Sanzang and his disciples? It's death anyway, the only difference is whether I'm beaten to death by a stick or cut into a stick...

Can you be more pragmatic?

Just threatening to declare war won't work!

Wang Xi fell into deep thought again.

In a sense, his goals do not conflict with those of the witches, and are even consistent with them.

Because Calvin is the obstacle between both sides.

"But if I want to completely eliminate the troubles in the Magic Forest and successfully resolve the curse, I can't avoid a key figure, and that is Queen Siyana."

Wang Xi's eyes flickered.

"Only by making her see Calvin's true colors and realize that the Magic Forest has no intention of harming the kingdom can this conflict be resolved."

He seemed to be overlooking the confrontation between the Stag Kingdom and the Magic Forest, and at the same time he saw the Snow Queen and the witches staring at each other from a distance.

His appearance seemed to serve as a bridge between the two sides, intervening in the impending war as a human.

Success or failure...

It will determine the fate of the millions of people in the capital and the many monsters in the forest.

"Mr. Gay."

At this moment, Lillian, who had been dining quietly, raised her eyes and looked at him with her calm blue eyes.

"You are the only human willing to help us, and the only human we trust... Time is running out for both you and me. Once Queen Siana marries Calvin, I will ignite the fire no matter what."

"Take care of yourself until then."

The cold voice carried a hint of apology.

Wang Xi sighed in his heart.

I am so worried about this world!

But he changed his mind and realized that if he succeeded, the rewards would be enormous... Not only would he save the lives of thousands of people on both sides, but he would also gain the favor of the leaders of both sides, as well as immeasurable legendary rewards!

"ok, I get it."

He looked at everyone present and said in a deep voice.

"I'll do my best."

"Mr. Gay."

Seeing that he agreed, Bev smiled and waved her hand. Along with dreamy colored powdered sugar, a small book bound with parchment appeared on the table.

"This is the account book I found from a silver refinery using magic. It contains evidence of corruption by Minter Dick and Minister Andor."

"Although it's not very helpful, I hope it can be of some help to you."

Wang Xi picked up the notebook with some surprise.

After flipping through it briefly, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"No, this thing might be more useful than you think." He put the account book away and smiled. "Thank you."

...

...

Perhaps because Wang Xi became the "spokesperson", the atmosphere in the candy house became more cheerful.

Even the usually aloof Lillian had a hint of a smile on her face. Although it was brief, Wang Xi keenly caught it.

Even Sophia, who was noisy and had great hatred for humans, looked at Wang Xi with a more favorable eye.

Everyone had eaten half of it.

Wang Xi suddenly spoke and smiled at everyone present:
"This is the most unforgettable dinner in my life. A dreamlike scene, fine wine and delicious food, and the company of the witch ladies..."

Before he finished speaking, Pinocchio interrupted:
"Kayi, what about me?"

Wang Xi glanced at him and interrupted him before he had even finished reading the pre-casting animation.

I had to add:

"Of course, there's also the honest Pinocchio, the dedicated Mr. Igor, and the lovely Sugar Mushroom Girls."

The blond wolf butler stood expressionless behind Sophia, still statuesque. The group of sugar mushroom girls waved their short arms, beaming with joy.

"so--"

Wang Xila raised her voice.

He looked at everyone at the table and said instigatingly:
"Why don't we play a little game to liven up the atmosphere."

"A mini-game?"

The three witches all turned their eyes to the black-haired young man, with a mixture of confusion and curiosity.

"The name of this little game is Brave Battle, um..."

Wang Xi thought about it and said something nonsense:

"The Hero Fights the Witch."

"So, Mr. Kay wants to play the hero and fight us sisters?"

Bev looked at him with a half-smile.

Sophia on the side sneered and said sarcastically:
"Just you? You're not even as good as a goblin. I can kill you with just one punch!"

"Of course I am ashamed of myself when it comes to fighting strength."

Wang Xi ignored the mockery of the foul-mouthed female devil and smiled elegantly.

"But we can compete in other areas."

As he spoke, he raised his glass and looked at the pink-skirted witch with a hint of teasing:
"Ms. Bev, how about we start with a drinking contest..."

"Hehe." The Sugar Witch covered her mouth and chuckled softly, her eyes as charming as silk. "Didn't Mr. Gai say he wasn't good at drinking?"

"So I hope Miss Bev will be more accommodating."

Wang Xi took the initiative to fill the glasses for both parties.

Bev became interested and said:

"Okay. It's been a while since I've had a good drink. Since Mr. Gay is here with me today, I'll play this game with you."

Hearing this, Wang Xi's smile deepened.
