Edward walked restlessly up and down the room, rattling the floorboards, shaking his arms, making various gestures, opening and closing his lips as if muttering to himself, which might make Let him feel better.

Sanel looked at Edward and said nothing quietly. He felt that it was better not to mess with the bad luck of the big pirate leader in front of him at this time.

His eyeballs moved slightly, and he cast his gaze on another boss in the room.

Ms. Mariana still maintained her usual elegant demeanor, sitting on the rattan chair with a leisurely expression, holding coffee in her left hand, and fiddled with a small spoon in her right hand.

It seemed that what happened in Jiaowan had nothing to do with her.

There was the sound of someone climbing the stairs outside, and after a while there was a knock on the door.

Sanel quickly came to the door, opened a cover on the door, revealing a small hole, he glanced outside, and then opened the door.

Nathan appeared outside, and Mariana, who was drinking coffee, looked at her child.

Nathan waved inside, "Everyone, I brought Sita over."

After speaking, he raised his foot and entered the room, revealing the strong man like an iron tower behind him.

With a simple and honest expression on his face, Sita lowered his head slightly and got in through the door frame.

Edward asked with some amusement, "Nothing happened on the road, right?"

Nathan shrugged his shoulders and replied with a funny expression: "Except for a helpful incident, everything went well, no big deal."

He gave a general account of how he had stopped the carriage in the street just now.

"The owner of the car may be a nobleman, but we ran in time and he didn't see us."

Edward looked at Sita, who was still silent, like the kind of simple farmer who is usually silent in the countryside and only knows how to bury his head in his work.

He knew this person's character, so he asked Nathan directly: "How about the Horn Bay Alliance, has the discussion with those noble gentlemen come to a conclusion?"

Nathan, who was still calm just now, showed an annoyed expression.

"Don't mention it!"

"The council is still arguing."

In Nathan's description of hating iron but not steel, everyone knew what happened to the upper echelons of the alliance recently.

After learning that the cathars had "borrowed" neutral states to attack their own empty and fragile northern allies, fierce quarrels broke out among the top leaders of the alliance. One group of people thinks that the north should not be taken care of for the time being, and they should immediately concentrate their forces to attack the church's territory according to the original plan, and go straight to Collins. Members held their own opinions and quarreled evenly in the council. The troops that had assembled at the border did not receive clear instructions, so they neither went to the adjacent Holy See-controlled area for support, nor returned to aid the Northern Allies.

After hearing this, Edward gritted his teeth and said: "Since the power of the church has appeared in the north, it means that the church territory in front of the Horn Bay Alliance must be empty of troops, and you should take this opportunity to fight in."

Nathan disagreed with his point of view, "The neutral states in the north are too weak, and a partial division can take them down. If the church is just a sheep attack in the north, the real main force will stay on the east side of the Horn Bay Alliance and wait for it." After the Jiaowan Alliance transferred its main force to the north, they immediately took advantage of it?"

Edward: "Whether it's going east into the interior, or going north to rescue the Allies, it's better than staying on the frontier and doing nothing."

The expression on Nathan's face was rather helpless. "The most terrible thing is that those northern countries that are themselves threatened have notified their troops to withdraw from the border of the Angle Bay Alliance. The Protestant army is about to fall apart."

"Then let us help the northern countries."

Ms. Mariana, who had been sipping coffee leisurely by the side, suddenly spoke.

"Help? How?"

Mariana's words surprised everyone.

"Ahem! You mean to donate a sum of money to them, and then recruit more soldiers?" Nathan waved his hand, "It's useless, these countries are not short of money."

"No." Mariana denied, "I mean—we use the power of magic to directly intervene in the war."

For a moment, Nathan felt that there was something wrong with his mother's head. Speaking of which, if she was counted by the age of ordinary people, she was really not young.

Nathan said embarrassingly: "Well, I didn't say that... Although we have had a precedent of cooperation with a mortal regime like Giles, it was based on the premise of several years of careful mutual contact and understanding , The current situation is so critical that it is too late. These countries were still frantically hunting down spellcasters with the church some time ago. If you rashly go to those in power to show your identity, are you sure they won't tie us up and burn us on the spot? "

Mariana smiled and said to her son: "If it's someone else, of course it won't work. But I happen to know a person in power in Horn Bay who has enough understanding and tolerance for spellcasters, and his country also has a lot of power among the coastal countries. quite influential."

"There is still such a person in Jiaowan?"

Everyone in the room was amazed.

Nathan said with righteous indignation: "Then why didn't he stand up and uphold justice for the spellcaster earlier, mortals really don't have a good thing."

Mariana said with some helplessness but with some understanding: "As the ruler of a country, he cannot resist the will of the people as a whole. At that time, the people were bewitched by the church. Even if the monarch is a rational person, there is nothing he can do. Even if he has enough ability Convincing your own people will also face isolation and even hostility from all other countries in the corner, and you can only hold back and wait for the right time—the time when everyone is forced by the perverse actions of the church.”

Nathan still asked with some disdain: "Oh? Then who is this monarch who has enough understanding and tolerance for spellcasters?"

Mariana replied: "The ruler of the Principality of Inton—His Majesty Eteote Cabre~lightnovelpub.net~The Principality of Inton? Isn't that the country we are in now?"

Nathan was surprised. It was his mother's decision to come to Yinton's capital, Hydera, and it happened to be the moment when the cathars were approaching Yinton.

Did she plan to do this long ago?

"Then..." he asked, "How do you know he has a good understanding of us spellcasters?"

"Hehe!" Mariana smiled, "Because his wife—the current Grand Princess Helen of Inton is a spellcaster."

"Do you know this Grand Princess Helen?"

"Of course, because she is my student, I led her to the path of magic."
