Janice and Melanice's eyes lit up at the same time.

Although they are still unsure, they already have a preliminary idea.

As the three continued to propose ideas and then reject them, the voice of the political secretary was heard at the door.

"Your Majesty, Duke Egilina requests an audience."

Egelina is here? Roland said loudly, "Please let her in."

Before the political secretary left, Laura called her, “Come back first, I will greet you personally.”

Ever since she mediated and helped Roland to establish a relationship with the Lisenburg Empire, she had returned to the Stargazing Club and secluded herself for a long time.

Compensation for additional territory and earldom were also communicated through written letters.

Before Roland could leave, Egilina's voice came over.

"No, I'm already at the door."

Egilina walked into the room in a familiar manner, greeted Melanie and Janice with a smile on her face before turning to Roland.

"You are my monarch now. I dare not ask you to greet my subjects."

Roland smiled and gestured for Egelina to take a seat.

“Lina, the secular relationship between the monarch and the ministers has no meaning to us, stop joking, do you have something to ask me?”

"Although I really want to ask, can't you come if you have nothing to do? But when I think about the fact that every time I come here, I always talk about serious matters, I can't say it."

Egilina laughed at herself and said in a low voice, "Roland, after staying with you for a long time, my divination ability has improved by leaps and bounds."

"Although the battle to defend the World Tree was exhausting, the rewards were great."

During the World Tree Defense War, Egilina did not go to the battlefield in person, but she kept deducing and determining the goblins' intentions, and she exhausted countless brain cells.

This kind of mentally and physically demanding work is no easier than fighting on the front line.

With a somewhat proud expression, Egilina said complacently: "I can now vaguely see the traces you left in the River of Destiny."

"Although I still can't predict your future, I can calculate clearly what happens to other people when they interact with you, and it won't backfire if someone tries to spy on your fate."

When Roland and Egelina first met, she got retaliated against for trying to spy on Roland's fate.

Although I still can’t see through it now, at least I won’t get pregnant after just one look.

Seeing Roland, Melanice and Janice all showing admiring expressions, Egilina's mood became brighter.

Every advancement in astrology is not easy.

Many people quickly reach their peak in the field of astrology and then make no progress throughout their lives.

Egelina had not made any progress for decades.

Just when she thought that this was the end of her life, Roland appeared.

Although Roland is a dangerous guy, danger and opportunity coexist. It is better to stay with him and make faster progress.

Egilina has decent hard power, but isn't good at fighting.

She was almost killed by Granny who was several levels ahead of her, and now she is no match for the barbarian.

But her path to becoming strong was never through practice, but came from astrology.

Looking around at the envious eyes of Roland and others, Egilina said with a smile: "I will tell you a shocking secret."

"The super secret about the World Tree."

Seeing Roland and the other two showing disapproving expressions, Egelina felt both angry and amused.

"What are you guys thinking? I'm not talking about the Evergreen World Tree!"

"I know. It's the World Tree."

Janice said calmly.

"Oh, you know that too? That's right, it's the World Tree."

Egilina was stunned for several seconds before she reacted. She didn't mention the name of the world tree at all, but Janice said it directly.

"Wait, how did you know that?!"

She was a little confused. She had made great achievements in astrology, so how did Janice know the conclusion she had worked out with great difficulty?

Seeing her confused expression, Roland didn't keep her in suspense.

He directly took out the dead branch of the World Tree and said calmly: "The branch where the World Tree lives is right here, so I know."

He briefly explained the origins of the branches of the World Tree, and then cast an expectant look at Egilina.

"You just said that spying on my fate won't backfire, so could you please..."

"Of course, that's what I'm here for."

Egilina smiled smugly, "Not only can I predict your fortune, but I can also figure out what the princess wants to do."

Roland calmly gave his compliments and watched Egilina take out the divination cards and start to deduce the divination.

After an unknown amount of time, Egilina's expression became a little strange.

"Strange, Princess Sophia is really trying to become stronger. She doesn't care about the relationship between the Fran Empire and us."

Volume 199: City of Freedom: Chapter : I Have Never Been a Fighter

The princess of the Frankish Empire and the head of the diplomatic delegation traveled thousands of miles to a foreign country, but she didn't care about how the relationship between the empire and Gracia would develop?

Is this reasonable?

Of course it’s reasonable, very reasonable.

Princess Sophia is not the crown princess, and it will be her turn to become emperor only if there is a drastic change.

She chose the path of strength and had little interest in the throne.

She cared more about herself than the Frank Empire.

This is not unpatriotic. In fact, becoming a peak sixth-level god or a demigod can contribute more to the country.

The empire does not lack emperors, but it lacks strong men.

Ancient empires like the Frankish Empire had strong error-correcting capabilities.

Even if we bring in Yang Guang, the most professional spendthrift, he can never shake the foundation of France.

There were many abdicated emperors and powerful men in the Frankish Empire.

These men are the pillars of the empire.

It is okay for useless descendants to eat, drink, play and do whatever they want, but if they dare to shake the foundation of the country, they will soon be accused of "doing more than 27 ridiculous things in 1000 days" and be dismissed.

The French royal family is not short of people.

Except for Melanice, the four people present were all little foxes with a keen political sense. Although Melanice didn't understand much about politics, she had also suffered from political struggles.

"In that case, let's play the role of host and let Sophia enjoy herself."

There are many people who devote all their energy to finding ways to become stronger.

Sophia is not the only one missing.

After finding out the other party's intentions, Roland handed over the task of negotiating with the Fran delegation to Lowe and continued to be a hands-off boss.

The Frankish Empire was a strong country, and Gracia was a weak country.

Although they took the initiative to establish diplomatic relations, the arrogance of the diplomats of powerful countries was everywhere.

They wanted to establish diplomatic relations where the empire was superior to the kingdom.

Lowe did not report these troubles to Roland.

He knew Roland and knew that Roland would not accept such a condition.

When he was a low-ranking noble, Roland had made seemingly unconditional compromises. However, these compromises had a deep logic, that is, if he did not compromise, he would die.

The Fran Empire is certainly strong, but is it really stronger than the seven major goblin chaebols combined?

Even if you are stronger than them, the distance of tens of thousands of miles and the penalty of crossing the sea can ensure your safety.

If you compromise without the pressure of survival, then you are just being a king in vain.

The negotiations reached a deadlock and Lowe had to play a key card.

He dragged out the spy chief Anthony.

After meeting Anthony, Ambassador Fran chose to be the guarantor without any hesitation.

If the ambassador were the emperor, he would hope that Anthony would die in glory and preserve his reputation.

But he is not.

He is a subject.

If Anthony is treated as a pawn today, who will speak for him when it is his turn tomorrow?

The negotiations, which had reached a deadlock, continued. The ambassador of the Frankish Empire seemed to have changed into a sunny and kind person, as if he was not the aggressive person a few days ago.

Lowe was not surprised.

This is politics.

He forced his own father to death, and his surrender to Roland was much uglier than this.

Just as the diplomats from both sides were arguing over the details of establishing diplomatic relations, Roland came to the Resurrection World Tree holding a dead branch.

He knew very well that the World Tree didn't like him.

They are just a partnership.

Feeling the World Tree's cold attitude, Roland raised the branch in his hand and asked the World Tree from the depths of his consciousness:

"Do you recognize this branch?"

The World Tree remained silent.

Of course she recognized it.

The seven world trees have never seen each other, but they have the same breath, the same roots and origins, and are all children of the goddess of nature.

The sigh of the World Tree sounded deep in Roland's mind.

"This is where my sister lives."

"Roland, if you have any clues, can you bring back my sister's remains? I know this is a bit too much to ask, but don't worry, you won't suffer any loss."

Roland breathed a sigh of relief.

With the confirmation of the Resurrection World Tree, he felt more at ease.

He nodded and said solemnly: "I promise you, but not now. My power is still very weak, and your sister's remains are in the Fran Empire. I can't go there now."

Roland really couldn't go. There were too many powerful people in the Fran Empire, and he couldn't always count on the witch to come to the rescue.

The witch was not familiar with him, and she saved him last time for Janice's sake.

He couldn't always drag Janice along on every adventure.

He couldn't accept this cowardly behavior of hiding under a woman's skirt.

At least wait until he reaches level six before going to the Frank Empire.

Anyway, the world tree is right there, and it can't run even if it doesn't have legs.

The World Tree has been dead for two epochs. Even if the remains of its trunk are still there, they have long lost their energy and are of no value.

He had no chance of reincarnation, and his chance of revival was used up in a performance accident while acting.

He must cherish life.

After bidding farewell to the World Tree, Roland walked casually along the path.

Instead of heading towards the palace, he took a walk towards the west.

Just as he was about to leave the core area of ​​the World Tree, he felt a gaze and turned back suddenly.

In the tree house a hundred meters high, Sophia was looking at him from behind the window.

The two people's eyes met in the air.
