……

After lunch, Roland called Barov into the bedroom.

This is the first time that the general manager has come to such a place. His hands and feet are obviously more restrained than before, but his expression on his face is very excited.

Seeing the other party's performance, Roland couldn't help but remember the story of a celebrity in history who ran out in disarray to receive visiting ministers, which moved the latter greatly.

It was obviously just his lazy behavior, but the boss felt a strong sense of trust, which was considered unintentional.

It has to be said that male officials still have unique advantages in improving loyalty, such as talking at night, sleeping with their feet... If it were Itsis Kant, it would probably be another idea.

He smiled and shook his head, putting aside these distracting thoughts. How many letters have you received during my battle and coma in the North?

There were 16 letters in total, and Barov quickly reported that most of them were letters from lords from all over the country requesting trade or visits, and two were secret letters from the guardians of the East Gate to express peace talks to you. I have replied one by one according to your previous requirements.

According to the tasks assigned by the pre-war meeting, when the king led his army to fight, Barov temporarily took charge of administrative matters in Wudong City, and he also read the letters sent to the king. If it was a particularly important message and exceeded the preset reply range, a flying messenger would be sent to the front line.

Is it just a peace talk?

Yes... they are not willing to hand over the right to enfeoffment, and they also advise you to keep the tradition and glory of the nobles.

When the spring of next year begins, those people will naturally know what choices they should make.Roland shrugged, what about the letter I need to pass in person?Where did it come from?

One comes from the Astrologer Association of Dawn City, and the other comes from the Kingdom of Morning. Barov handed over two pieces of letter paper. When they were sent, you were in a sleepy state, and the content was a bit... strange.

eccentric?

Roland first spread out parchment paper with zodiac patterns.

The letter was written by Bachelor of Miscellaneous Stars. The first half of the page is greetings and thanks. The astronomical telescope I gave to the Observatory before was already in handy. It was natural for them to express their gratitude, but the following content made him stunned.

The traces of the world-destroying star were found in the starry sky?

A star with a red light and fixed position?

Roland thought of the synchronous track at the first time.

Judging by his pity's astronomical knowledge, only objects that operate in synchronous orbits can remain relatively still with the planet.

But if the red moon appears in this orbit, it will not have any effect on the planet itself, and the observation results also show that its size should be very small.

So the Red Moon is not a natural celestial body, but an artificial satellite?

Roland thought for a moment and rejected the speculation. If it were a satellite, how could it be possible to come to the world?

According to Agesha, when the Red Moon appeared, people on the whole continent could witness its existence. It was larger and brighter than the moon. The scarlet light dyed the stone walls of the Holy City with a hint of blood. Even during the day, their outlines could be seen.

This is completely unreasonable.

He was silent for a while before he put the letter aside.

I will write a letter for me and invite astrologers to Wudongcheng.

But last time they rejected you, Barov hesitated, this time I'm afraid...

The situation is different. The astrological association has found the stars they want to pursue, and then just stare at the sky.Roland tapped the table and said, "You told them in the letter that Wu Dongcheng has developed a better telescope and has also discovered some ancient books about the Star of Destruction, and I believe they will come."

yes.

He spread out the second piece of letter paper or not. Like the usual secret letter, the messages conveyed by flying messengers were always very concise.

The Lord of Chenxi died and his eldest son, Anpeinmoa, succeeded to the throne.

He ordered the removal of the believers of the church, cut off the trade routes with the Holy City, and raided witches.

Affected by this, rebellion occurred in the border areas and our caravans were also affected.

The original plan may need to be temporarily suspended.

Roland couldn't help frowning. Barov didn't know what the church had done in Chenxi, and felt that it was normal that Isabella and others were evacuated. It was sooner or later that the Lord of Chenxi, who had no medicine, died in a drowsy sleep. He just didn't expect that Ampein would have such a great hatred for the church, and the witch also hated it.

In these policies, it is okay to clear out believers. The unilateral ban on trade has completely cut off the wealth path of the border lords. Behind the rebellion, there must be the shadow of the church, and the search for witches is completely contrary to their own interests.

Such an impulsive order is unlikely to be the idea of ​​the three major families. It can only be said that the new king has been blinded by hatred and wants to avenge his father.

He originally thought Chenxi would be a potential ally, but it turned out to be a big disappointment.

Send a formal diplomatic letter, Roland said slowly, first congratulating him on being crowned king, and then warning him not to do this, the pure one is not the same as witches. Greycastle has formed a formal witch organization, and regarding them as enemies is to be enemies of Greycastle.

Uh... Your Majesty, Barov wiped the sweat from his forehead. Are you sure you want to write this?

Is there any problem?

The other party will not take it seriously at all, and may also regard your words as a threat.

Roland naturally knew that sometimes even the vassals of local lords would not accept the king's orders, let alone interfering in foreign political affairs.

But times have changed. If the other party doesn't understand, he doesn't mind teaching them what real diplomacy is.

This itself is a threat. He replied nakedly, if Ampermoa insists on his own, he will let Chenxi change to a king when he captures the holy city next year. A wise man who is willing to stand on the side of the gray castle and fight against the God-will battle together, such as Andrea of ​​the Quinn family, would be good.

Diplomacy in the new era will be built under steel guns and guns. What you cannot get on the negotiation table will be achieved by the army.

Not to mention interfering in other countries' internal affairs, replacing heirs, supporting the opposition, and directly sending troops to occupy the garrison are common methods. Before the Red Moon arrives, Roland does not want other kingdoms to pull him back.

Therefore, the core content of the entire diplomatic letter is not to say that it is unpredictable.

I... understand, a complex look appeared in Barovmons' eyes, including surprise, excitement, and unhidden awe... He bent down deeply, and I will convey your will to the King of Morning.
