The Euriana Pope seems to be frightened by McCrandell's words, he has never seen anyone speak to him like this, and he is in a hurry to slip away, and retreats again and again, in a sense, the pope generally does not lose his temper like this, that is, today he met a strong opponent McCrandell, the pope is the one with the greatest power and status behind the scenes, honored and admired, and he has a large number of people such as the archbishop, bishop, and godfather under him waiting for his dispatch.

Knight Enod watched the Pope go away, and couldn't help but admire McCrandell's strong approach, in a sense, McCrandell has the qualities of bravery, fairness and justice that many knights do not have, although he is not a knight himself.

But who would have thought that a bastard child of a family who grew up in a lust for power would retain such valuable qualities, of course McLandall is not pedantic, he is also a flexible and intelligent man, he has his own justice.

Then in the Prime Minister's reception room, McCrandell waited for a dozen or so angry captains of merchant ships, their expressions agitated and indignant, and they protested against the unjustified requisition of their ships by the Kings Guard.

McLandall apologized sincerely at this time, and promised to pay reparations once the war was over, but words could not appease them.

"What if you lose, sir?" A merchant captain asked.

"Then transfer the matter of compensation to Jocris and Cression."

After some persuasion and temptation, McCrandell finally got rid of them and flickered them away for a while, but at this time, the bell outside rang again, and he was about to miss the investiture ceremony!

So McCrandell and Knight Enold trotted all the way through the courtyard and squeezed into the crowd behind the hall.

King Robert was tying white silk robes to the shoulders of the two new members of the Kingsguard, and everyone stood up during the ceremony, so Robert could catch the first glimpse of the rows of noble buttocks.

Having said that, after the archbishop had led the two knights in the solemn oath and blessed them in the name of the gods, his place was in favor of slipping away first.

The prayers, oaths, and blessings almost all morning was consumed.

When the inauguration was finally over, Robert Sheehan walked out under the escort of the two newly-robed Kingsmen of the New Land, while Ti McLandall stayed behind to speak with the archbishop (the archbishop was lower in the church than the pope and higher than the common bishops and priests). "I want the gods to be on our side," McCrandell said bluntly, "to tell everyone that Jocrith and Kréshin will swear to burn down our church in Dubrovnik." ”

"Really, sir?" The archbishop asked, he was a shrewd bishop, said to be of the House of Odo, with a sparse beard on his slightly emaciated face.

McClandall shrugged. "Jocrisse and Cresion claim that the Church has assisted the Randall family and the royal family, and has turned their backs on the righteous gods."

"Yes, my lordship, I will also ask everyone to pray for the health of the king and the prime minister!"

When McClandall returned to his study, a letter had arrived from Varian Oyzi, and several alchemists were waiting outside the door, and he decided to read the secret letter first,

McLandall read the letter three times, then set it aside.

"What nonsense!" McClandell secretly cursed that Prince Krésion had the idea of the forest dragon, declaring that their righteous and powerful army would cause the dragon to respond, and that the dragon deep in the forest would cross the sea to attack Dubrovnik.

Only then did he allow the alchemists into the living room, "Master Mack, we have already made the flask you wanted. ”

I saw several alchemists holding several thumb-sized bottles in their hands, which seemed to be stuffed with some black material.

"This is the smallest flask of ignition? Will it explode easily. McCrandell took it and observed it in his hand.

"Please rest assured, Prime Minister, the dosage in this has been adjusted according to your requirements, and it will definitely not cause an explosion, but it will only have an ignition effect, so Prime Minister can give it a try." Several alchemists said.

McClandell took out a piece of tissue paper, crushed the flask from between his fingers and threw it on top of it, and a stream of sparks spread out from the thin paper, and the thin paper was slowly engulfed in flames, and a puff of black smoke rose.

McLandall said satisfied, "I need three thousand of these flasks." ”

"The production of three thousand flasks is also a bit laborious for a few of us, but we will definitely work harder, the flasks contain black magic, hehe, this is the ancient secret of our alchemists, the process is very subtle, very cumbersome, to make this kind of ignition flasks that will not explode, the complex process is essential, a little mismatched, or a little more or less will fail, hehehe, they are originally ......"

"Wait......" McLandall interrupted the alchemist, "I also know the offer of three thousand flasks, and our royal family will pay you, but I propose to deliver it according to the time I proposed earlier, and it will cost you less than ten days late." ”

"Prime Minister Mack, what you proposed earlier was only 2,000 flasks, but now it has suddenly increased to 3,000, can you give us a little more leniency at this time?"

McCrandell smiled and stared at the alchemist, "You just said that you must work harder, how can this reflect that you have worked twice harder, that is, to change the original two thousand to three thousand, then this can be reflected, you can't say that you will work hard, but in fact you have only completed the previous plan, am I right?" ”

The alchemist's face was as pale as a white mushroom, and he forced his composure: "We have been working hard, Prime Minister, and I assure you that my assistants and I have been working day and night from the beginning, so we have made more of this kind of thing, and we seem to have become more skilled, and as long as the royal family pays enough, it will be worth it for a few of us to work a little harder." ”

"I repeat, according to the time I proposed before, it will cost 10% less if it is 10% late, and it will be no longer 10% if it is 10 days late." McLandall said impatiently.

Several alchemists saw that the prime minister looked a little angry, nodded again and again, bowed his waist, and retired.

One of them fled in the wilderness and nearly ran into the captain of the Castle Guard.

He had just returned from the area around Dubrovnik, brought with him a group of newly recruited civilians from near Cassadine's territory, and returned to take charge of the King's Guard, and after discussing the city's defenses, McCrandell asked, "How is the situation on Lord Grieta's, have you heard any news?" And, of course, there is the case of Prince Ronnie. ”

"Prince Ronnie is protected by the Knight of Knapp and some Kingsguards, he is very safe, he is very happy now, my lord, he also has a fawn, which was brought back to him by Lord Cassadine when he was hunting, he seems to say that he used to raise one, but King Robert skinned it for a vest, and Lord Grex has already discussed everything with Lord Cassadine, and soon Lord Grex is ready to return to Dubrovnik Palace with Prince Ronnie."

"Well, that's good...... If Jocris and Kreshion's army take the opportunity to attack Dubrovnik, and the dragon also takes the opportunity to attack, and we are breached, what will you do next? ”

"My lord, according to our intelligence, Jorcris is still far away, and isn't the matter of that dragon a bit unfounded?" The captain of the Wangcheng guard said.

"I'm talking about if, if you don't think about all the failures, you can't be successful."

"Hmm...... I'll give you some explanations about the bottom of the heart. ”

"Confess what?"

"You ordered me not to tell anyone, my lord."

Hearing this, he smiled, "I'm glad you remember, I'm just testing you." ”

If Dubrovnik fell, McLandall didn't want to be captured alive, and of course, McLandall wouldn't let that happen.
