Chapter 879: Difficulty is difficult to return


    After reaching the intention, Duanmu Huai turned around and left, and the king also returned to his office, where a man was waiting for his arrival.


    "Your Majesty, are you sure you want to do this?"


    Looking at the king in front of him, the Duke of Grants looked at him with a serious expression, while the latter shook his head.


    “At present, I can only expect this to work to some extent.”


    “To be honest, I think it would be too risky to put your bet on an adventurer and an organization I’ve never heard of.”


    "After all, you are an adventurer. If you don''t take risks, are you still called an adventurer?"


    Hearing the Duke of Grants'' warning, the king laughed, and then he restrained his expression on his face again.


    "But to be honest, I''m just doing an insurance policy. Grants, at least, that one is indeed a strong warrior. I believe in my intuition. He should be a trustworthy person. To be honest, the Paretia Kingdom now... Maybe this is the best way for the time being."


    Speaking of here, the king walked to the window and looked at the scenery outside with a serious expression.


    No wonder the king looked so serious, because he knew very well that the Paretia Kingdom was currently surging undercurrents and was in a turbulent state.


    All of this starts with the ancestors of the Kingdom of Parethia.


    In ancient times, one day, the demons suddenly appeared in front of humans. They could manipulate unimaginable miracle - magic, and also fly in the sky. In this way, the demons launched a large-scale massacre of humans. At that time, humans had almost no means of resistance when facing the demons.


    At that time, the ancestors of the Parethia Kingdom found a way - they gained the ability to use magic by contracting with magic elves. It is precisely because of this that the Paretia Kingdom became one of the few countries that could survive the attack of the demons at that time. They also rely on the power of elves and magic to create a barrier barrier that isolates the demons.


    And naturally, the magicians who can use elves magic became royal families and nobles of the Paretia Kingdom. They are also proud of their bloodlines and believe that the Kingdom of Paretia will eventually become a beacon for mankind.


    Unfortunately, although the ancestors of the Paretia Kingdom were smart, the others were not fools. Although the magic used by the demon race cannot be resolved by humans at all. But humans still use their intelligence to create a brand new magic system that belongs to humans.


    So...well, in this way, the position of the Kingdom of Paretia became very embarrassing.


    Although the elves'' magic is powerful, this kind of magic requires a contract with the elves, and only the bloodlines of the Parethia royal family and the nobles can be signed with the elves. Most people cannot use elf magic, which is also the source of pride for the nobles.


    As a result... The emergence of the human magic system completely defeated the pride of the Paretia nobles.


    It’s like driving a car. When you drive a Rolls-Royce and watch others walk, you will naturally feel superior.


    After all, if you drive, you walk, it means I am better than you?


    But just as I was proud, a Wuling Hongguang drove next to me, and the accelerator kicked you with a look of dirt...


    Not everyone runs on the ground with four wheels, what''s so awesome? I, Wuling Hongguang, can still drift? Do you dare to Rolls-Royce?


    Although the Paretia nobles believed that the elves were noble and looked down on the human magic system, they called it civilian magic.


    But so what?


    Whether it is elves magic or civilian magic, can''t the summoned fireballs destroy the demons?


    It is precisely because of this that the Paretia nobles hate civilian magic very much, but as royal families, they obviously cannot be as short-sighted as nobles. The Paretia royal family had long discovered that if this continues, the elf magic will decline sooner or later, and the human magic system will eventually unify the world. After all, elf magic still requires blood to sign a contract, and the human magic system can be used by anyone with talent.


    So the royal family also tried to change this situation. In fact, the former kings tried to give a noble title to someone who made contributions to the human magic system.


    This made the nobles extremely dissatisfied. They regarded it as a threat. After all, the nobles are not fools. They also knew that compared with elves, the human magic system is easier to learn and spread. If this starts, then in a few years, all nobles who use elf magic will be completely eliminated by those who use human magic system.


    So in order to maintain their status and reputation, the nobles launched a rebellion directly and decisively.


    Yes, rebellion.


    They would rather start a war and completely destroy the entire country than allow the human magic system to occupy their position.


    The current king was forced to take office during the rebellion, although he joined forces with his friend, Duke Grants, and eventually forced the rebellion to be suppressed and purged the nobles who caused the rebellion. However, the nobles'' insistence on their status and elf magic still shocked the king.


    In fact, the northern fortress that was lost before was caused by the civil war caused by this noble rebellion that the northern fortress was attacked by the demons. It was not until the demons came to the royal city that the royal family and the nobles finally reached a consensus and joined forces to repel the demons'' attack. However, after this battle, the royal family did not dare to talk about the human magic system any more casually.


    The previous rebellion has caused the Paretia Kingdom to lose one-third of its territory. If it happens again, I am afraid that the entire country will really perish.


    After all, the Kingdom of Paretia is on the border of the demons, and can be said to be one of the frontlines for humans to fight against the demons. Stabilization overwhelms everything and absolutely no accidents can happen. Therefore, the king also wants to continue like this.


    Unfortunately, the tree wanted to be quiet but the wind continued. The birth of Anisefia made the king feel headache again.


    Strangely enough, Anisfia, as the blood of the royal family, was unable to sign a contract with the elves and use elves magic. Of course, Ainisfia can also learn the human magic system, and if someone else had done so, it might have done that.


    But Ainisefia - No!


    Because she is the princess of the Kingdom of Paretia!


    If she learns the human magic system, it will pose a greater threat to the nobles than before! Because Ainice Fia is a princess, theoretically he has the right to inherit the throne. If a princess who has learned the human magic system inherits the throne, will the nobles who use elf magic still have a way out?


    It can be imagined that the second rebellion is just what is coming.


    What makes the king even more troubled is that he is obviously unable to sign a contract with the elves to use elves magic, but his daughter likes magic very much. I don’t know where she got so many wonderful ideas, but her daughter finally chose to create a strange science - magic!


    Ainisfia''s idea is very simple. Since she cannot use magic, she just needs to create props that can use magic. At the beginning, the king only thought it was whimsical, so he went with her.


    But what the king did not expect was that Aisfia actually made a result...


    Now it’s a big trouble.


    You should know that magic props are more terrifying than human magic system. The human magic system ultimately requires talented people to learn, but magic props can be used by everyone. It is precisely because of this that many people actually see Princess Anisfia''s potential and support her career.


    However, for the conservative nobles who use elf magic, this is more hateful than the human magic system. Although they look down on the human magic system, if they take a step back, the human magic system is still magical at least, but magic is no longer magic at all. Can you imagine that a little kid dragging a nose on the street can release a fireball as powerful as elves magic by just holding a stick?


    So what''s the use of magic?


    Take the lightsaber created by Anisfia before for example. It can easily split the body of a monster that cannot be split by the sword. In fact, the Knights have also made suggestions several times, hoping to replace the army with this magic lightsaber. After all, the army needs to fight against the monsters and demons on the front line. If this magic lightsaber can be used, it will definitely reduce casualties and expand the results of the battle.


    Standing at the level of the country and the royal family, there are only benefits and no harm, and there is no reason to disagree.


    But these proposals were withdrawn under the pressure of conservative nobles, and they would never allow such powers that those who have not learned magic can easily be circulated.


    Even so, this also alerted the conservative nobles. They also found that if the magic continues to spread, Ainisfia will likely gain the support of most citizens by then, and things will become more and more difficult. So they were all standing behind the prince at this moment and trying hard to give him advice. In the eyes of these nobles, the best way is to become the prince and then marry this rebellious princess to other countries in the distance, and the matter will be resolved.


    So, they worked hard, hoping that the prince would command this war to regain the Northland Fortress in order to gain the hope of those who could confront Ainisefia.


    Of course, the nobles also knew that if they could not fight against demons and monsters in the sky, then trying to retake the North would be just a fantasy.


    But I didn’t expect that this matter would turn around.


    What I didn’t expect was that the turning point came from His Royal Highness the Princess they looked down upon.


    So, these nobles turned out to be abnormal and began to brag about Princess Anisfia''s courage in front of the king, and strongly recommended that she must participate in this Northern Expedition.


    Of course this is not their conscience discovery. In fact, the king also knows what they want to do - it is obvious that these nobles tried to take advantage of this Northern Expedition to completely erase the "unstable factor" of Ainice Fia.


    The king even thought of a script for them - the brave Princess Anisfia sacrificed her life to fight against the powerful demons in the battle of the north. Her good character is worth learning from all of us... Anyway, people die like a lamp, as long as Anisfia dies, the magic she discovered will be done. Saying a few good words for the dead will not lose a few pieces of meat for the nobles.


    But if Anisfia is alive, it will be a problem that will lose her head.


    If only Ainice Fia alone, the king would be very nervous. He knew that similar political struggles were too easy, because only Ainice Fia alone could fly, so the nobles could hand over those dangerous tasks to Ainice Fia, put her in danger alone, and then be killed.


    But it is unlikely to not let Ainisefia go. After all, this is the situation in front of you. If you need to recover the North, you need to fight against the air attacks of the demons and monsters, and then people who can fight in the air must come forward. Not to mention that Aisfia is a royal family, it is also her mission to protect the Kingdom of Paretia.


    But luckily... there is Duanmu Huai.


    Although he had only had a few short conversations, the king had discovered that the steel warrior in front of him was an extremely domineering and quite arrogant person, which means that he was unlikely to be bribed by the nobles. That''s why he specially asked Duanmuhuai to help protect Ainisefia so as to avoid her being harmed by the conspiracy of the nobles.


    As a king, he can only do so much at the moment.


    The king also knew that things would not be that simple. Those conservative nobles would never let Ainisefia go, and now the only thing he could do... was pray.


    I hope that after the recovery of the North, the situation can develop in the favorable direction we expect.


    Duanmu Huai didn''t know what the king was thinking, but when he returned to the hotel, he immediately found the real skill.


    "So smart, there is something I hope you can help."


    "What''s the matter? Big brother?"


    When he heard that Duanmuhuai had something to do, he immediately widened his eyes.


    "I hope you can investigate some information about the nobles and royal families of the Paretia Kingdom."


    "Investigate information?"


    "Yes, I''m not asking you to explore some secrets, I''m just asking you to collect some ''obvious'' and ''well-known'' things."


    Although Duanmuhuai was not sure what was wrong with the Paretia Kingdom, he was sure that there was definitely a problem.


    The reason is also very simple.


    King Paretia is just a son and a daughter. Logically speaking, you have to leave one for insurance. Where can you send both to the battlefield? If one is not good, and both of them are dead, then will your royal family have no heirs? After all, this is not a battle with humans, but a battle with the demons. The magic of the demons is diverse and diverse. Who can say what will happen? To be honest, it will not be surprising if both of them die.


    Of course, it would be fine if you say that the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed, but if you recover the North, failure would not lead to the destruction of the country. Therefore, Duanmu Huai felt that this approach was really refuting common sense.


    What''s more, if Duanmu Huai guessed correctly, the demons in this world are likely to be treacherous, and then they are more special about engaging in conspiracies at the national level.


    Don’t care whether you can succeed or not, you will definitely do it anyway.


    Duanmu Huai and Ao Jisi are not good at inquiring about information, so they can only leave it to Zhen Jiling.


    "Can you do it? Really smart?"


    "certainly."


    In the face of Duanmu Huai''s inquiry, Zhenling nodded vigorously.


    "I will definitely bring the information you want to my elder brother!"
