Make the dragon great again

Chapter 204 The Duke and the Maid

Behemoth King's Capital [City of Thunder], in the office of the Duke Regent on the top floor of the sub-tower of the palace.

After finishing her day's work, Elizabeth looked around to confirm that no one else was present, then stretched happily, and the chair tilted up following her movements.

bang.

The door of the room was opened suddenly, and Elizabeth was so frightened that she almost lost her balance and fell down. She managed to sit on the table again and saw that it was Lilian, her personal maid.

Elizabeth was about to "teach" the maid who has become more and more arrogant recently, but Lilian hurriedly said first
"Miss, a large-scale battle broke out in the confrontation zone in the south."

Upon hearing the news, Elizabeth suddenly lost the idea of ​​"teaching" Lillian, and her expression suddenly became serious.

"How about the specific information? Also, call me Lord Duke."

After closing the door, Lilian took out a few magic rubbing letters full of information, and said to Elizabeth:

"According to the information from the communication mage tower that has just been successfully restarted in the southern border, just an hour ago, someone from the direction of the kingdom took the initiative to launch a legion-level range magic to Griffin's [Outpost Town], and [Outpost Town] fell into a Chaos ensued, and several legions on our side, who were hostile to the Principality of Griffin, gathered immediately after the incident and launched an attack."

During the heyday of the Bechymos Kingdom and when the royal authority had not yet declined, the Bechymos family spent huge sums of money to build communication towers connecting all parts of the country. real-time communication;
However, after the decline of the royal family, the local aristocratic groups that rose up in the local area took up these communication towers with various tricks. Since the construction materials of the long-distance communication towers are extremely precious, most of them will be rebuilt by the local nobles in the future, and they will be built. The mage towers inherited by the family magicians are used, and a small number of communication towers have been abandoned after a long period of disrepair.

Over the years, because a large amount of rare magic materials were produced in a certain mysterious dungeon and flowed into the kingdom, the royal family, which has regained a certain right to speak, relied on confiscating the assets of the breakfast nobles, renovating and restarting some abandoned communication towers, this time from the southern border. What was delivered to [City of Thunder] is such a restart communication tower...

After listening to Lilian's report, Elizabeth frowned.

"Is there any sign of a third party intervening to provoke?"

"No, there is evidence that the first undeclared war is part of the remnants of the southern faction. They have been expressing their willingness to make peace with the capital before."

Elizabeth tapped lightly on the arm of the chair with her left hand.

"Those southern nobles who want to ask for forgiveness? Huh, they united and betrayed the royal family for profit, and now they unite to betray other southern nobles in order to retain their titles. Are these guys really... are there any more?" ?”

"There is also unconfirmed information that the remnants of the southern faction who took the initiative to provoke the war have had close contact with the eldest son of the southern faction leader, Duke Volker, Damon Volker, and Damon himself does not seem to have Deliberately concealing one point, and at the temporary military meeting before the decision to send troops, Damon was also one of the people who agreed to take the opportunity to launch a war."

"Demon Walker?"

Elizabeth thought about it for a while, and then remembered the eldest son of the Duke of Volker. In his impression, he was a traditional "excellent aristocratic youth", but there seemed to be nothing particularly outstanding.

More than three years ago, Damon and others also participated in the hunt for the first princess who fled at that time, but in the end, his memory was tampered with and left where he was.

Elizabeth, who knew the news at the beginning, thought it was Anna who contacted her teacher Glenn, and Glenn modified Damon's memory;
But later Glenn denied this, and Elizabeth roughly guessed that it was Anna who was helped by the dragon Adrian...

After Damon Walker's message flashed through her mind, Elizabeth murmured:

"Is he showing his favor to the royal family, and wants to win immunity for himself in the future purge? It is also possible that his behavior was acquiesced by the Duke of Volker. That old guy still looks disrespectful to the royal family on the surface. However, it is not impossible to make some two-handed preparations behind the scenes..."

Lilian stood by, still holding a few letters with information in her hands. After Elizabeth had thought about it, she asked in a timely manner:

"Miss, do you need to give any instructions over there?"

"No need, the opening of the station is already in our plan, as long as the nobles of the southern faction also lead troops to participate in this revenge war, let them go... Also, call me Lord Duke!"

Lillian skillfully ignored the master's order, turned to the next page of the letter in her hand, and said nonchalantly:
"Miss, there is one more thing. On the northeast edge of [Mulion Great Forest], a communication tower that has not been successfully restarted has sent a somewhat strange message."

"If you want to call me... Forget it, what information, just tell me."

Elizabeth didn't bother to correct the maid's address anymore.

The corners of Lilian's mouth curled up slightly, as if she was a little proud, but she still answered honestly:

"Because the overhaul of the communication tower has not been completed, the transmitted information bytes are limited, and after the first message is sent, it seems that there is no subsequent information update because the node is damaged again, so from the limited data analysis that was transmitted only once, at that time The news from the communication tower is: a continent is flying in the sky."

A continent flying in the sky?what?

Elizabeth was a little puzzled by this strange information.

How can the mainland fly in the sky?This must be a communication tower that hasn't been repaired yet, sending out wrong garbled codes, right?
This somewhat inexplicable information was skipped, and Elizabeth once again returned her attention to the analysis of the Southern War.

……

The [Sky City], which was regarded as "wrong and garbled code", has just driven out of the [Mulion Forest], and is continuing to move in the direction of the [Thunder City].

The communication tower that reported the risk of complete damage to the unrepaired nodes and reported to the capital immediately but was treated as a false report just now broke away from the shadow cast by [City of the Sky] ...

In [Laputa in the Sky], the adjusted second "Battle Royale Trial" is under the auspices of Alvarez.

At this time, Adrian had just finished listening to Aliya's self-report.

Looking at Aliya who was stubborn and worried, Adrian was expressionless.

"You mean, your soul comes from another world, your heart doesn't belong to Ira, let alone the belief of the Holy Spirit, you just want to go back to that world?"

……

To be continued, change first and then change.

There will be another update later. I didn't want to divide it into chapters, but it seems that I can't finish 4000 characters before twelve o'clock, so I have to develop it separately.

　Thanks to 'Kuroba Akira' for the reward of 500 points!
