Almighty Alchemist

Chapter 27 Wind Direction

Winnington Palace.

Avril Lavigne is dressing up in her bedroom.

She looks stunning.

Combing her long hair unconsciously, Avril Lavigne said, "Padgett, what happened to what I asked you to inquire about?"

Behind Avril, Padgett, the warrior of the land, replied respectfully: "Your Highness, it has been verified. This young man, named Siser Dardanelle, is the heir of the Dardanelle family. Here are all his information."

Avril Lavigne stretched her hand back, and a stack of documents fell into her hand.

Flipping through the stack of documents casually, Avril frowned: "It looks like all the documents are complete."

"yes."

Avril continued to turn the pages, and a piece of news made her heart flutter.

"In the early spring of this year, the Dardanelles were also in Royo?"

"Yes."

Avril took a long breath.

Is it really that coincidental? The Dardanelle family is also at the place where Xiu Yiglaer appeared?

When Xiu Yiglaer announced that he would come to Winnington, did the Dardanelles also come to Winnington?

And this Siserda Daniel is actually a young alchemist...

Huey, is that you?

Avril Lavigne's heart was beating wildly, but there was no trace of emotion on the surface.

"Thank you, ma'am." Avril Lavigne returned the information to Padgett behind her.

"I hope it can help the person Her Royal Highness is looking for."

"The only help is to help me get rid of a suspected target. He is not Xiu Yiglaer." Avril replied lightly: "It's just a bit similar, but it is far worse than Xiu Yi. Throw away all these materials."

"That's really a pity." Padgett replied: "Your Highness, if there is nothing else, I will retire first."

"You go." Avril said without looking back.

Padgett behind him stepped back carefully step by step, and Avril Lavigne never looked at him from the beginning to the end. But through the mirror in front of the dressing table, Avril still found that Padgett carefully put the materials in his arms.

A contemptuous snort emerged from the corner of Avril's mouth.

After a while, she suddenly raised her voice: "Klos!"

Behind him, on the originally empty space, a figure slowly rose from the ground, and it was the earth-type red-robed archmage Cross.

The archmage had a frowning look on his face, as if he was regretting something.

"That document was brought by Padgett from Raschel." Avril Lavigne said coldly.

"Yes, I see." Cross nodded.

Avril sneered: "Who else can I trust?"

Cross quickly explained: "Padgett is still loyal to you."

"But he's still secretly messaging that hound!" Avril Lavigne slapped the table angrily, scaring Cross from speaking again.

Avril Lavigne casually picked up a bottle in front of the stage and threw it back.

Cross hastily took it.

"Go buy a gift for Padgett's family and sprinkle this stuff on."

"His Royal Highness!" Cross called out hastily.

"Leave a copy for Padgett!" Avril sternly shouted: "If you refuse to carry out, I will give your family a big gift too!"

"Yes!" Cross didn't dare to say more.

The little princess in front of her is no longer the innocent and arrogant girl she was back then.

She already has enough wisdom to face all kinds of people, and even has enough intrigues to restrain others.

She herself has studied all kinds of alchemy, especially in potions.

Cross can fully imagine what this bottle of potion means.

When the soft policy is no longer effective, some necessary means of coercion will surface.

Cross must be thankful that he had pledged allegiance to the little princess early on, because he knew that by his side, there were also people from the little princess who were secretly watching.

Although Avril herself has repeatedly claimed that there are too few people who are loyal to her, in fact, in this palace, Avril already has a team of her own. They don't take orders from anyone, they only die for their princess.

Cross left, and Avril sat alone in the bedroom.

After a long time, she finally said, "Nurse."

A cloud of black smoke rose, and an old woman wearing a black veil appeared beside Avril.

"Your Highness," she said respectfully.

"Tell me about the special envoy of the Frank Empire."

"yes……"

Following Mammy's explanation, the anger in Avril's heart gradually rose.

———————

In any case, Xiu Yiglaer would never have thought that everything he had done would almost push Avril to a desperate situation.

Since the outbreak of the Royo City tragedy, the Lance Empire has encountered the greatest crisis in history.

A seventh-level fire mage abused spells in the city, causing the death of a large number of civilians, and attracted accusations from countless countries.

No matter which world you are in, no matter how dark the world is, righteousness and fame are always needed. No country can survive on the basis of injustice. No matter how evil it is, it will not openly claim that it is evil, but will always find many reasons to whitewash itself.

This is also the main reason why it is impossible for King Stryk VI to acknowledge the Purgatory Island incident anyway. The consequences of doing so may be another major earthquake effect like the Royo City incident.

In fact, the troubles that the Royo City incident itself brought to the Lance Empire were large enough to offset the foundation of their war victories over the past few years.

Accusations from all sides and diplomatic failures made Stryk VI devastated. The church of the Church of the Holy Spirit in Royo City was burned, a large number of believers died, and even some priests of light were affected. The Pope was furious about this, and publicly issued a statement, accusing the war of the Lance Empire against the Frank Empire and the Georgia Empire as an unjust war.

This statement immediately put the Lance Empire into a passive state. There is an old saying in the diplomatic circles that is true, when power is unequal, power is diplomacy, and when power is equal, diplomacy is power. Although the Lance Empire is powerful, it barely has a chance of winning in the face of the two empires joining forces. In this case, the pope's unjust statement almost has the power to turn things around.

The material strength of the warring parties has not been affected by this statement, but the spiritual effect must not be ignored. The morale of the Reims Empire inevitably suffered a major blow. Even deserters began to be able to plausibly quote the Pope's words to justify their actions. On the other hand, the opponents, the two empires, had their morale boosted by this statement, and they fought to the death without retreating.

The soldiers rushed to tell each other, and their courage doubled. The people in the enemy-occupied areas also saw the future and hope, and those who wavered and hesitated also dared to take up arms to resist and struggle bravely.

No matter how much darkness and filth lies behind the truth, no matter how contemptuous it is in the heart, whether the war is just or not, every overlord dare not take it lightly, at least on the surface.

This is the rule of the game in the civilized world.

For the Church of the Holy Spirit, a dominant empire is what they don't want to see, and what they like to see is a divided country with the church at its core. They will not easily participate in wars, but are happy to influence the direction of wars.

The Lance Empire has the upper hand in this war, and it is acceptable to gain some benefits, but it is absolutely impossible to annex other countries.

The Royo City tragedy was the trigger for the church to intervene. With a good excuse, the church naturally wanted to get involved unscrupulously. The Lance Empire, which has always been careful not to allow the church to catch its sore feet, was slapped by the huge religion behind it, but it could only endure this tone and temporarily accept the armistice agreement.

But the truce is the truce, and the Lance Empire is unwilling to return the land that has been laid down. The Church of the Holy Spirit is also unwilling to oppress the Lance Empire too much. After all, the church is not a country and can exert influence, but cannot forcibly interfere.

In this case, the church did a peacemaker (and this is what they are best at doing), that is, an immediate truce, and at the same time the two sides redraw the borders of the occupied areas.

As a result, the Frank Empire quit. The Georgian Empire did not suffer much loss in its own territory, but the Frankish Empire lost three groups.

Divide according to the occupied area, wouldn't that mean losing a large piece of territory in vain?

However, the Lance Empire has a strong army, and it is impossible to fight back by itself. The Church of the Holy Spirit has forced the Lance Empire to agree to give up the war. Under such circumstances, it is impossible for them to spit out the fat that has already reached their mouths.

For the church, as long as it can develop its own believers, no one cares about the ownership of a small area.

To this end, the three parties conducted arduous negotiations.

In the end, the Frank Empire finally agreed to occupy the territory and redraw the border. However, the Frank Empire also proposed that the border must be given to the Lance Empire under a different name. The Lance Empire must guarantee to sign a peace agreement with the Frank Empire. In order to ensure the validity of the agreement, Princess Avril must marry the Prince of the Frank Empire, and the Frank Empire will use three groups of territories as dowry gifts. Of course, in addition to this will also come with a lot of property.

Several countries that were still beating their lives to death will suddenly become in-laws at this moment. This is the reason for this in the political field.

Only the little princess herself was sacrificed.

The special envoy of the Frank Empire set foot on the land of the Lance Empire under such a premise.

Listening to Mammy's words, Avril Lavigne's originally pretty eyes showed a cold air: "Is this how my father loved me? Married me to a prince of a defeated country, just in exchange for three groups of land?"

The old woman behind him sighed helplessly: "The war must end. This is the Pope's warning to His Majesty. Your Majesty does not want all these years of painstaking efforts to go to waste. At least the land that has been occupied so far cannot be returned."

"For this reason, you need to hook up with an imperial princess?"

"The country has the dignity of the country, otherwise Frank's monarch would not be able to account for the people."

"That's self-deception!" Avril almost crushed the jade comb in her hand.

"Princess...is always going to get married." Mammy also sighed, she knew what Avril Lavigne was thinking, but unfortunately she couldn't make the decision on this matter.

"Mommy... what should I do? Do I just let my father marry me off?" At this moment, Avril finally regained her previous expression. It turned out that no matter how strong she was, she was still that innocent girl in her heart.

Mammy shook her head: "I'm sorry, Your Royal Highness, I'm afraid no one can help you with this matter."

Avril sat weakly on the chair.

Huey, where are you?

Did you know that my father is going to sell me?

If you're here, you must be able to save me, right?

Suddenly, Avril seemed to think of something, she suddenly raised her head and said, "Nurse, is the prince of the Frank Empire here?"

"In three days, the prince's motorcade will arrive."

"Okay!" Avril immediately stood up: "The prince of the Frank Empire is here, and there must be a grand welcome banquet. I want you to arrange people to prepare it immediately. After the imperial banquet, another small welcome banquet will be held in my name."

"In your name?" Mammy was a little surprised.

"Yes, it's in my name. My fiancé is coming to marry me, shouldn't my fiancee welcome you? Hold another small banquet in my name."

"Do you need to invite someone?"

"It's up to you who needs to be invited, but there is one person you must invite for me."

"who?"

"Catherta Daniel, I want to see him at the banquet!" Avril Lavigne said firmly.
