The shadows of the old world, the tides of the new era. Light and darkness, chaos and dawn... arise alternately in a world of machinery and witchcraft!
But what does this have to do with me, ...
When you step out of time, there will always be a period of time when you cannot adapt to the current life.
In fact, I just got used to living on the other side, and I feel a little uncomfortable switching back immediately. I need to think carefully about what is happening at the moment.
Because it's difficult to maintain consistent emotions, Sean usually speaks very little during this period.
After all, if you were sad before, when you encounter happy things in the timeline, you will slowly forget the emotions at that time, and you will feel incoherent when you come back again.
Therefore, Sean rarely spoke these days, even when guests came, he tried to speak as little as possible, and almost always listened to Frelia's conversation...
I slowly want to sort out my thoughts.
The news of the Eastern Ghost incident did not reach the imperial capital until four days later. As the eldest prince of Jagun, Sean was one of the first people who should know about the situation.
That day, the Sun King gathered all the nobles and officials of high status in the hall.
Of course Sean was there too...
Princess Seria volunteered to go to the east to investigate what happened, so she was not present.
Among the crown princes, only Sean and Mu Dan sat in their seats...
"Today I invited everyone here to talk about the ghost incident on the east coast, and this time we have reached a new conclusion." Seeing that everyone had arrived, the Sun King began to speak loudly.
The Sun King has always given people the impression of being an emperor who speaks very little and hopes to listen to the opinions of his subordinates.
However, only Sean, who had more private contact with him, understood that the Sun King was the one who could act decisively and sternly without making any noise.
He already has ideas about many things in his mind, but he is just waiting for everyone to come up with the same idea as him before he will finally finalize it. He will also wait for both sides to slowly convince those who can raise objections.
He never denies anyone, he always lets others help him deny!
"Eunuch, please tell me the situation." He gave an order to the eunuch next to him.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The palace eunuch stepped forward, opened the confidential letter in his hand, and then told everyone what had happened.
Everyone listened, including Sean, who had no idea what the situation was over there before.
Unexpectedly, another village was destroyed, and this time it was truly investigated...it was not a ghost but a mutant monster that fed on humans.
The letter stated that the local army and the many troops brought by Seria were unable to inflict any damage on the enemy, and some even nearly lost their lives on the spot. Fortunately, the appearance of the witch Elesis turned the situation around.
The other party relied on their unprecedented strength to freeze the entire sea, giving people the opportunity to kill the monster. In the process, they also discovered the intervention of other forces, like a terrorist organization.
They also publicized it as a ghost incident, resurrecting the dead to mislead the public.
The information was very clear, even the details of the battle were clear... The entire local garrison was almost completely defeated, but the appearance of the witch Elesis turned the tide of the battle in an amazing way.
At this time, Sean noticed that many people's eyes were fixed on him.
[Being watched...]*66
Lucille was brought here by herself, and she was brought into the palace by herself. Later, when many people knew her name, they thought that such a person was too dangerous and wanted to be driven out. Even the court wizard was unwilling to let her join.
But now it seems that Lucille's actions really slapped the other party in the face!
He is worthy of being my disciple (mentor), he did a great job.
After the letter was read, all the nobles and officials in the hall fell silent.
"This is the latest news from Seria. Please share your thoughts." The Sun King spoke first, and the other officials had to speak.
"Your Majesty..." The first to speak were the ministers who wanted to speak. Lubin stood up, glanced at Sean across from him, smiled, and continued, "I think this incident might be related to the Desert Kingdoms. The news originally came from there, and many people have misled the public through word of mouth. I believe the Desert Kingdoms should be actively investigated."
Lubin's focus is still on the desert countries...
Indeed, from Sean's wedding, it was seen that many desert countries had formed their own small groups. Although they did not dare to compete with a big country like Jagun openly, no one knew what they were planning in private, and this time the news was indeed first heard from them.
"It is indeed worthy of attention," said the Sun King.
"I object to this..."
Another Grand Chamberlain stood up.
"To do this without solid evidence is tantamount to directly lowering Jagun's status. The desert nations have always had many complaints about us, but these complaints are not serious. Targeting them like this will force them to unite."
Because Jagun's geographical location is indeed the best in the desert, it is the first and only barrier between the desert and the oasis. Any desert country that wants to trade with Zambutal to the west must pass through Jagun...
This is to the west, and to the south, the two major ports are directly connected to Keselk, which can be said to occupy the best location.
Therefore, what is often heard in the desert countries is that Jagun deprived the desert of 80% of its resources, which is why it has achieved today's success. Many people living in poor countries have complaints due to years of propaganda.
If these were to ignite, it would not be a good thing for Jagun.
It doesn't mean that possessing the military strength to fight against other countries means you can do whatever you want...
If we really continue to quarrel with the desert countries, it may also involve many people in Jagun, after all, there is communication among the people.
If a war breaks out, they will suffer losses, and the losses will affect the people's livelihood in Jagong itself.
Wars between countries are not simple military confrontations. If that were the case, it would be much easier. However, for larger countries, many issues must be considered. Otherwise, a war of attrition will easily cause domestic chaos, and at that time the country will not have to fight against external forces, but suppress internally.
It is easy to consume national strength!
"The investigation team I'm talking about doesn't necessarily have to be a national-level mobilization. We can send out a professional and sufficiently powerful team, such as the witch Elesis." When Lubin said this, Sean subconsciously looked at him.
So that's how it is.
The smile just now was because he wanted to get this right for himself.
But deep down, Sean personally didn't want Lucille to become a spy for any country. After all, she was his disciple (mentor), not a tool.
"Witch Elesis!" The Sun King also turned his gaze to Sean.
