Chapter 1,638 The Grievances of the Karlsruhe Empire

However, from the very beginning, those who were pessimistic about the action of swaying the magician's will through public opinion were not only the members of the Brotherhood, but also many young nobles of the Karlsruhe Empire.

Someone asked: "Noah, we now know the situation of Ezio and his family. But why are you so pessimistic? Your status as a noble of the empire is not fake, right? Are you still afraid that the magician will touch you?" "

I ask this because someone’s plan to bring down the entire ruling class in Lost Land has not been exposed. The emperors of the two empires and the eleven important ministers of the empire, including the old Duke Kawei, who knew the contents, did not disclose the relevant information.

After all, such threats can be effective against a few people, but if they are made public, they will only intensify conflicts and make things uncontrollable.

Not everyone has enough sense to judge things, and most of them have a powder keg temper that explodes at the drop of a hat. And they didn't care whether they hurt anyone or not, they were blown up to the sky anyway.

It can be said that if we want to break the cooperation between magicians and humans, we just need to make this plan public. At that time, the two sides will inevitably reach a point where only one can survive, and they will be unable to reconcile.

Therefore, no one who knows about this plan wants this cooperation to be disrupted, so they keep it strictly confidential. That's why the person who asked the question knew nothing, asked such a question naively, and used his status as an imperial noble to suppress the magician.

Noah von Kram III, an aristocratic son of the Imperial Air Cavalry, said with a bitter look on his face: "You know that many of my uncles and uncles have stayed in Linhai City and earned huge profits from maritime trade for the family. Now. When I want to remember them, I can only take a boat to the sea and pay homage to them on the Sea Clan’s territory.”

Linhai City, a pearl in the Karlsruhe Empire, the Grand Dukedom of Frias, and one of the main ports for trade with Dragon Island, was wiped out twelve years ago. Buried with him were all the territories of Grand Duke Frias and all the creatures in the territories...

That was not just a matter of extinguishing a great noble's heirs. Instead, all its territory and people were slaughtered, turning the title of the great noble into an empty title that no one cared about.

Now in the Karlsruhe Empire, the Frias family name has been reduced to a duke status, and it is still an empty title. Because there is no actual territory to enfeoff. No one was willing to give up their territory to the former grand duke family, including the emperor himself.

In fact, there are still people alive in the Frias family. Lin originally ordered the robot fleet to destroy only his territory and his mansion in the imperial city. Some family members who lived outside these two places survived and did not suffer the treatment of extermination.

But those who are still alive, including the current Duke of Frias, can only rely on properties outside the original territory to maintain their family, losing their past power. This includes the support of relatives and close friends, all of which have become strangers.

Although today's Frias family has the status of a duke, it is still at the level of wealthy merchants in the empire. Even the banquet hosted by the baron would not invite members of the Frias family.

Just like a magician once said, when you lose the interests of your territory and the power to control the people - they are all dead, who will control them! ——After that, even if you have the title of great noble, it has no value in the eyes of others.

It's just that it's been twelve years since this happened. Although everyone still remembers it, not many people take it to heart. That's why some forgetful people asked why the imperial nobles were afraid of that magician.

Outsiders will forget, but people in the Karlsruhe Empire will not forget. Especially when the Grand Duchy of Frias was destroyed, the people who stayed on that land were not only members of the Frias family.

There are countless nobles and non-nobles who are doing business, visiting relatives, and having connections, operating on that land. Many of these people have no direct or indirect relationship with the Frias family and just want to come to this land to find an opportunity.

But under the gunfire of the robot fleet, everyone is treated equally. No one could survive the bombardment just because they were not related to the Frias family.

However, after such a long time, has anyone in the Karlsruhe Empire pursued that magician?

No! Everyone seemed to have forgotten the incident and kept silent. But that doesn't mean they forget.

Although there are people who are waiting for the opportunity to take revenge, but the increasingly disparity in strength means that more people choose to take a detour to avoid the magician when they see him from a distance.

If you can't block him, why can't you hide him?

In addition, the magician entered the Karlsruhe Empire in order to spread the glory of the Goddess of Gold Coins and make banks bloom everywhere.

It also promoted the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, which allowed power to be legally and reasonably taken out of the hands of the royal family and transferred to other people. No matter who has the ultimate vested interest, the people who could only unconditionally obey orders have now gained a few more weapons to check and balance those in power.

It can be said that the people of the Karlsruhe Empire loved and hated the magician. Since you can't beat him and your emotions are complicated when facing him, the best way to get along with him is to keep a distance.

Under such circumstances, someone planned to encourage people from the Karlsruhe Empire to challenge such a magician. How could this happen?

Others don't know the meaning of the robot fleet in the sky. How can these imperial nobles not know the meaning of those disaster stars in the sky?

Even if the magician who is said to be able to defeat Dragon Island alone and beat the Dragon God to such an extent that his mother cannot even recognize his son, how can he challenge it? As long as the robot fleet is in the sky, the nobles of the Karlsruhe Empire will never act rashly.

Perhaps the comrades around him saw how the robot fleet eliminated the demons and the underground world alliance, but they only saw the process of artillery fire passing across the sky, and did not see the elimination process with their own eyes. So their understanding is not deep enough.

To put it bluntly, people from the Karlsruhe Empire didn't have relatives or friends who were buried with the Grand Duke of Frias.

The influence of a great duke, except for his true rival, has tentacles and connections that extend to all aspects of the empire. All these people were buried with the territory of Archduke Frias.

Therefore, unless the magician really reaches the ultimate limit of life and death, the first choice for the nobles and civilians of the Karlsruhe Empire is to give in.

If this truth were spread, probably ten out of ten people would not believe it. Who would believe that an empire would give in? No one dares to call themselves an empire without the courage to do whatever they want. I really thought that once the territorial area reached, it would be automatically upgraded.

But that's the fact, it's just that everyone has a tacit understanding not to talk about this kind of thing.

Therefore, when everyone knew the attitude of the people who came from the Karlsruhe Empire, they were all shocked. Even if it's not an untenable level of shock, it's still a shock that clears my mind and realizes it's shaking right now.

Now that they have made their stance clear, it is unrealistic to rush them. After all, when the commander-in-chief of the coalition forces clearly ordered the disbandment of the army, everyone gathered together purely because they had the same mind and the same goal. There is no question of who is superior and who is inferior, everyone is on the same level.

However, they do not plan to get involved in the matter of entering the Gate of the Abyss. Their respective futures still have to be arranged. Someone asked: "Ezio, since you don't want to take action against that door, why haven't you left yet?"

Know that the person asking the question has no malicious intent, nor is it sarcastic, it is really just a question. Ezio answered truthfully: "Only guard against demons. Who knows if they have escaped the attacks of those monsters in the sky and survived. Besides, everyone stayed because they were worried. I can ignore you." If you lose it, why don’t you go alone?”

"Do you think... after the magician takes action, do the demons still have a chance? I mean over at the gate of the abyss. Although those guys in the sky can suppress the demons, they will not exist forever. If they leave, The magic tower blocking the door has not been built yet, so what should we do?" someone else asked.

Faced with such a problem, Ezio really didn't think about it at first. At this time, he could only lower his head and ponder.

Although most people's worries have been reduced a lot in Ezio's previous analysis, they have not been completely eliminated. It’s just that they don’t understand what else they are worried about. Now that the people mentioned it, they understood what the last step was, and they all looked at Ezio.

After Ezio thought for a moment, he said: "If I say that I have confidence in that person, I guess you won't agree much. Because I don't know where such confidence comes from. But the question you just asked, The important thing is how long it takes to build the magic tower."

Everyone nodded.

As we all know, the construction time of a standard three-story magic tower is at least twenty years. However, the subsequent tinkering and modifications will not stop until the magic tower is completely destroyed.

Therefore, there is a group of people who believe that the Magic Tower can be regarded as "living" because it will continue to grow and change.

And this twenty years means that the magic tower used to block the door of the abyss will not work for twenty years, and the door can only be blocked by manpower. Does that magician have such ability? This is where everyone's doubts lie.

Regarding such doubts, although Ezio did not understand the magician's method of breaking the situation, he found favorable conditions on the other hand and tried to persuade everyone, saying:

"Do you know the Technology Guild? Anyone who has been to the Holy City of Estali should know it. It is also an organization related to the magician. It is mainly a place where many craftsmen unite to share technology and innovative technologies.

"In today's Holy City, ordinary houses can be built very quickly, and they are still strong and good. Not only are they square and square, there are also all kinds of strange shapes. This is different from the kind of mud houses with thatched roofs. no the same.

"And as far as I know, that person has never given up the idea of ​​owning a magic tower. And the reason why he is so guarded by others is because his ability to build magic towers is better than anyone else.

"Combining the above two factors, do you think that the magic tower he wants to build to block the gate of the abyss will take ten or twenty years? If the danger is really that high, the first one to leave it to others to do it , that’s the magician.

"He doesn't care about being said to be the best magician in escaping, but don't underestimate the thickness of his face and his fear of death. Haha."

Faced with Ezio's confident speech, although everyone's doubts were not immediately eliminated, the uneasiness was relieved a lot.
