Chapter 714 Alves


Chapter 714 Alves

The candlelight shines, reflecting a tall and slightly hunched back on the white wall.

The white-haired old man held the quill tightly with trembling hands and quickly wrote something on the paper.

"Your Highness, please forgive me for leaving without saying goodbye..."

Frowning and thinking for a while, he finally decided to get straight to the point.

"You actually betrayed Aldo, a country like ours whose residents are humans, in order to make peace with the orcs."

"Before this, I couldn't imagine that you could do this. Such an unwise thing happened, I'm sorry to use such strong words to describe it, but it is difficult for me to see through the profound strategy behind this matter with my shallow wisdom."

"Could it be that Orr before. Isn't that enough to satisfy you? We have instigated Giles's rebellion and have put this country into a situation where it cannot take care of itself. In its weak state at that time, we have already achieved our original goal - making it difficult for it to ignore the mainland. What’s happening in other places?”

“What’s the point of introducing a barbaric race like orcs under such circumstances and causing the Aldo people to suffer again?”

"Now those barbaric guys have entered the fertile north of Aldo. There are countless people and resources there, which will eventually make the already extremely destructive grassland king's tent expand into an uncontrollable thing. Perhaps. …”

The old man's hands began to tremble more and more, and there was uncontrollable worry between his brows. He insisted on continuing to write.

“Like most people, I once despised this race on the grasslands. What I despised was their culture. I believe that with their social tradition of only plundering and having no fixed settlement, , no matter how powerful the force is, it is only a superficial problem."

"But since I got the latest status of the orcs from Marshal MacDonald, I began to study this race that has been ignored by mainstream human scholars. "

"Finally I discovered that the vigilance of the Marshal was not exaggerated in the slightest. The orcs had begun to learn from human society and gradually transitioned from a scattered state to a centralized state, but until recently they had not yet To become a real threat, the fragile ecology on the grassland cannot provide them with continuous motivation for war, so the most important thing is to prevent the orcs from obtaining an agricultural land that can continue to provide various resources.”

"But now they have - because of your strategy. Although the north of Aldo is not rich, it still has the potential to provide backing for a powerful force. Rodney's ancestors came from the north Set out to conquer the western end of the continent..."

The old man wrote feebly, "Your Highness, I am sorry that I can no longer provide services to you."

"If we leave it alone, human beings may not persist until they face the prophesied great destroyer. I was ravaged by the iron hooves of the orcs. I realized that I had to do something. In fact, this was a very desperate decision. After all, my personal power was too weak to make a difference, but I still had to do it. "

"Here, I wish you all the best in your career, and hope that our common ideal can eventually be realized - all humans unite under one banner to fight against the enemies of humanity, whether they are orcs in reality or in prophecy "The destroyer."

Alves picked up the letter and gently dried the ink on it. He sighed, carefully folded the letter, stuffed it into the envelope, and placed it properly on his desk.

At this time, there was a gentle knock on the door of the room, and he turned around warily.

"Master Alves, the carriage is ready."

It was his servant and bodyguard Marek, and Alves breathed a sigh of relief.

“Let’s go right away!”

He walked quickly outside without any hesitation.

It was already three days later when the people in the Bachelor's Tower discovered that this famous scholar had left. After all, it was common for senior bachelors like him to lock themselves in their rooms for days and nights to think about problems. That's why no one dares to walk into Alves' room on weekdays.

In the end, when Aldrich came to him with something, he discovered that the room was empty and there were two letters on the desk, one was for him, the senior, and the other was for His Highness Antonio. Aldrich rushed to the palace as quickly as possible.

“Why did Alves do this?”

After a brief shock, Antonio was very puzzled. This was too sudden.

"It's clearly written in the letter!" Aldrich said silently in his heart.

He glanced at Antonio with some worry. The prince's subordinates had been loyal to him for a long time, and he was used to the loyalty of his subordinates, so much so that he couldn't accept the simple words in the letter after such an incident.

Ever since he learned the content of the deal the prince had made with the orcs in the north, Alves objected fiercely, but he failed.

Antonio still fulfilled the deal with the orcs - instructing the Arcana to cooperate with the orcs' invasion of Aldo. If the orcs are trapped in Aldo, even if some of their energy is involved in a short period of time, it will be conducive to integrating Gabeira.

"Ahem! Maybe it's the Aldo blood in his other half that is causing trouble." Aldrich explained, "making him emotionally unable to accept your arrangement."

"Bloodline?" Antonio was stunned and his eyes dimmed, "I understand."

Maybe this can explain it. The half of his blood naturally makes him side with the wizards.

"Your Highness!" Enoch Christopher, a member of the Ten-man Magic Club, was also here. He reminded in a sharp voice: "Master Alves knows too many secrets. Maybe you should... ..." He made a gesture that everyone could understand.

"You..." Aldrich opened his eyes wide and defended his junior, "I guarantee with my personality that Alves will never reveal any secrets that are detrimental to us."< br>
"Oh! Master Aldrich." Enoch said strangely, "I respect your character and knowledge, but you are not a god. I don't want to lose our secrets and you at the same time one day. Personality.”

Antonio frowned, thinking under the gazes of the two people.

"Teacher!" When the prince looked at Aldrich with a sad expression, Aldrich lowered his head sadly, and the number one person in the Bachelor's Tower also calmed down.

"I beg you to let him go with dignity."

Antonio nodded slowly and turned his gaze to the other person in the room.

“Sigrit, it’s up to you to give Alves a ride, and do as the teacher says.”

“Me?” the witch who had been silent said dissatisfiedly Frowning, "Alves has been gone for three days."

That beautiful face always seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, and her frown made the temperature in the room drop even more.

Antonio made a rare plea: "That's why I asked you. No one can trust me more than you in this matter."

The corners of the witch's mouth seemed to curl up. , the indoor temperature has recovered a lot.

"In that case, okay."
