With the aging of the Sun King, the power of the Oakland Empire may turn from prosperity to decline. In fact, the rule of the Glorious Age began to relax long ago with the death of Empress Esteele and the virtuous minister Arte. The Virgians are also on the move. Forced by the overlord's oath that "if His Majesty Guy is in one day, the Virginians will never go south", the descendants of the Nord endured for nearly half a century, and also recuperated for half a century. Once the Emperor returns, the horn of the behemoth will once again resound in the sky, and the peoples of the plateau will unleash a monstrous storm of conquerors like the peak of a flood.

The undercurrent of the nation's struggle for hegemony is surging and dangerous, and Lu Xi is not unaware, after all, he comes from a world where information is so developed that there are almost no secrets, and he has never eaten pork or at least seen pigs running.

However, as a dead house who thinks he is a technology nerd, Lu Xi is still under a lot of pressure. The world of politics is too loveless. The ground is really dangerous, so I'd better go to the sky honestly.

With this thought in mind, Lu Xi said goodbye to Olivier and walked towards the residence alone. As for when I gave the conversation just now to the legendary "high-level of the Alliance", well, it's not me who is in a hurry anyway, so I'll talk about it when I go back......

When I go back, I still have to discuss it with the teacher and his old man first.

Although he doesn't want to admit it, in Lu Xi's heart, Orucello has filled the gap of the role of "father" that he lacked in his previous life. Once you encounter something that you can't get into, the first thing that comes to mind is this narcissistic and arrogant all-round old man.

Actually, you don't have to wait until it's time to go back. The next day, Lu Xi got up a little late, and when he went downstairs to prepare breakfast, he found that the atmosphere in the restaurant was a little different from before.

Grant and Bull did not sit still, but stood respectfully on the side, their eyebrows lowered as if they had become trained aristocratic attendants. Although Sehiru sat in his chair, he was visibly restless, his head hung slightly, and his eyes flashed and he did not dare to speak. Only Lim was still heartless with her cheeks in her hands, waiting for Lu Xi to come.

At this time, the main seat at the dining table is usually where Lu Xi sits, and he has already made an old man with a white beard and robe, but who is it not Orucello?

"Old, teacher?" Lu Xi's eyes couldn't help but widen.

"You kid is finally up." Orucello deliberately said with a straight face: "How can you sleep until this time." Isn't it because you start indulging yourself without my supervision? ”

"I almost got lost on the road of life last night, so I can only heal myself with sleep." Lu Xi said: "Your old man is not at home and then at home, is it also lost on the road of research?" ”

"It's Gain's eighties." Orucello said: "He and I have been friends for more than half a century. This birthday is most likely his last, so how could I not come? ”

“…… Are you here to celebrate your birthday or to smash the field? By the way, Lim, when did the old man come? ”

"Just now."

"It's just pinching the food, it's really like your old man's style."

Sai Xiliu, who was sitting on the side, showed a terrifying expression as if he had seen the Mamenxi Dragon. To all magicians, Orucello is a god-like being, a living legend that the mere sharing of his room is already putting a lot of pressure on the serious former student council president. Lu Xi and Orucello's way of communicating with each other completely subverted her cognition.

Orucello was traveling with the Federation's legacy, but this time he was attending the Sun King's birthday celebration entirely as a private person and friend. As for the official representative of the Federation, it was personally led by Speaker Chai He, whom Lu Xi had seen in the Azure Palace last time, and it was also the highest standard of the mission. …,

It is the highest specification on the political zhì, but with the appearance and aura of the speaker Chai He, it is estimated that it is completely impossible to look at it when he stands with the Sun King, and it will not be a federation to lose face when the time comes?

"Why don't Master Rassell and that seaweed-headed daddy come?"

Rassell is the Minister of War, and Daddy Turner, the seamhead, is the Minister of the Interior, and both are standing members of the Ruling Council, as well as the leaders of the Pure Stream Grassroots faction and the Gate Lords Aristocratic faction of the Federation, respectively. The identity is reasonable, and the aura is also reasonable, how can it be more reliable than the chattering Speaker Chai He.

"There's no way, they're all anxious themselves, how can they have such idleness as me!" Orucello shrugged, a distinct sneer on his lips.

"Oh?" Lu Xi showed a smile of understanding, "You won't find some reason to pinch it again, right?" ”

"Hehe, if they don't pinch it, won't the only interesting thing about the federal government be gone" But this time it's a little more pinched, of course, it's related to you."

If you listen to it again, it seems that you will be exposed to a very amazing insider, right? The worldview may collapse as a result...... The restless little civil servant Sai Xiliu was entangled for a long time, and finally plucked up his courage and said cautiously: "Master, you have something to discuss, let's leave first." ”

"The little girl is quite sensible. Remember your name is ...... Sehiruch, right? Oluxero said, "But it doesn't matter, this matter is actually related to you." ”

Saihireu and Lu Xi couldn't help but look at each other, and Orucello smiled, "Do you remember the lich you caught?" ”

How could it not be remembered. Because of that lich, Lu Xi and his team broke the record for the lowest age for the magicians of the Learned Alliance to defeat and capture the lich, and even more confusedly became the so-called "young heroes" - the focus of the Federation's propaganda and training. After that, Carol went to military school with his girlfriend and servant; Sesilio fulfilled his ambition and became a diplomat; Lu Xi was co-opted by the most anti-system organization in the Federation and became a glorious brocade guard, ah no, secretly practicing imperial history.

This was followed by a large-scale federal military campaign against the Namoa Mountains, which had been going on for more than half a year now.

Orucello said, "The top of the alliance gave the Lich's Horcrux to Yuhi, and finally tortured a little bit of information. ”

"Intelligence? Who is Yuxi? ”

"It's Master Yushi Nacardo! The most accomplished archmage in the alliance in the prophecy and spirit departments! Sai Xiliu couldn't help but glance at Lu Xi, "This is common sense, common sense!" ”

Orucello nodded: "If you want to torture information from a lich who has fully become a soul, you can only rely on the magic of the prophecy system and the spirit system. Leaving it to Yuki is naturally the wisest choice. Of course, the intelligence was obtained, and the alliance was frightened. ”

"Huh, frightened? Hey, after all, they're still the leaders of tens of millions of people in the Federation, what kind of intelligence would frighten them? Anyway, is it really okay for the state to hand over to these people? ”

Sehiru's cheeks twitched, and he habitually wanted to say, "Master, please ignore this guy." But thinking that the master-apprentice relationship between Lu Xi and Orucello could only be stopped, he was naturally very entangled, but Orucello nodded approvingly, and said: "That's true, isn't it the orcs in the Great Wasteland, the birds on Mount Namoa, who have a tendency to form an alliance with that group of skeletons." It's so simple and scared, it's really useless! ”

"Yes, that's right...... Wait, what did you just say? ”

"The orcs want to form an alliance with the skeletons. By the way, what kind of expression do you have? ”

"Hmm...... Actually, I also wanted to learn from the big names of the alliance to scream in panic, but suddenly I felt too embarrassed, so my expression seemed a little tangled. ”…,

"What's so strange about this, during the Qiming War, weren't they already wolves? Xiao Lu Xi, your cultivation is not yet home! ”

“…… Cut, don't you see that Lim is already stunned? ”

Lim tilted her head suspiciously, looked at Luxi, then at Orucello, and finally focused on breakfast.

In short, regardless of whether the reaction of the master and apprentice was too off-line, Sai Xiliu, the only one with common sense, had already shown a shocked expression without reservation, and suddenly stood up.

"Master, when did this happen?"

"Well, just a week after you came to the City of Radiance to take up your duties."

"Then, everyone from the Eastern Legion ......"

Seyriku had to worry. The Dragonclaw Peninsula to the south of the Namoa Mountains was divided into eight small and medium-sized states: the Kingdom of Goting, the Kingdom of Charan, and the Principality of Vicemia. To the southeast is the Henas Peninsula, the land of the dead, shrouded in dark canopy and plague frost all year round. To the north of Mount Namoa is the vast wilderness of the Orcs.

Once the orcs really reached a tacit agreement with the Council of the Dead, wouldn't the Eastern Legion, which had already penetrated into the mountains to fight guerrilla warfare with the Black Flag Wingers, be crushed alive?

"There's no need to worry." Orucello laughed: "Rassell is not a fool, he has already ordered the withdrawal of troops on all fronts. Besides, the orcs and skeletons are only trying to form an alliance, not an alliance. ”

"Oh, now that the troops have been withdrawn, what is there to talk about?"

"The battle was fought like this for more than half a year without any results, but in the end, the undead and the orcs had the intention of forming an alliance. Turner naturally blamed the inaction of the Russell military department for this qiē. ”

"How can this be true? Isn't it the Turner faction that singled out such a planless war to initiate such a planless war? ”

"This is the political struggle." Orucello scoffed, "Political enemies are more terrifying enemies than the Undead Scourge Orc Frenzy." Well...... At least that's what most politicians in the federation see. ”

The old man paused for a moment, and then said, "In short, the Azure Palace has just passed a bill, and the Federation is ready to expand the army from 300,000 to 600,000 within a year. The country is facing a great national defense crisis, and Rassell has no reason to oppose it this time. ”

"600,000...... With the current financial situation of the Federation, will it not go bankrupt immediately? ”

"It's a big deal to add a little more tax in the name of initiating the wartime bill, anyway, bankruptcy or not is not something that a small diplomat can manage." Orucello pondered for a moment, and then said: "Suddenly more than double the size of the army, the soldiers are okay, but the junior officers are completely insufficient, and the only way is to convert the reserve to active duty." It may not be long before you and Sehireux receive a call from the army. Well...... I forgot, you were originally an active-duty officer, just a civilian who ate and waited for death. ”

…… What does it mean to eat and wait for death? This is the sacred diplomatic undertaking of the country!
