Ibeya's eyes were dark, and it looked like she hadn't slept well last night, and of course, with the situation still uncertain, it was difficult for anyone to sleep peacefully.
However, Ibya obviously has her own intelligence channels, after Xiao Lin walked in, Ibeya immediately took the initiative to make tea for her, and then sat next to Xiao Lin, looking at him with a very well-behaved look, and said worriedly: "The undead army is not as good as the rebels, although the low-level undead have many shortcomings such as lack of intelligence, slow movement, and low combat effectiveness during the day, but if there are a certain number of necromancers in the rebels, it will be disastrous." ” News of the undead legion's siege was not reported, it was not mentioned in the notices posted everywhere, and none of the soldiers defending the city were allowed to leave the tower, and the king's thunderous actions allowed the stability of the city to continue.
Xiao Lin didn't ask where Ibeya knew the news, took a sip of tea, and slid it slightly, the tea had a faint aroma, and when he looked down, he found that the tea leaves were dotted with a few purple petals, which were rich in roses in the Principality of Roses, and they had a unique taste when mixed with tea.
"Brother Xiao Lin, is it delicious?"
Ibea giggled, a "come and praise me" expression Xiao Lin fulfilled her wish, and Ibeya said proudly: "Roses and your tea are not completely compatible, and they must be blended to the right ratio to be able to blend the flavors of the two into the water, and this ratio is my own research." ” "It's really delicious, relieving fatigue and refreshing, it's better than ordinary tea and coffee, how is it made?"
"I want to know."
Ibeya blinked, "Then answer me a few questions, okay?"
” Xiao Lin nodded with a smile, daring to love this little Lori waiting for him here.
"You're leaving, aren't you?"
Ibea said in an affirmative tone, thought for a moment and added in a questioning tone: "Will you give up this city?"
” Xiao Lin's smile retracted, he understood what Ibeya was worried about, and couldn't help but reach out and touch Ibeya's head, and chuckled: "Don't worry, we won't leave, this time we will help you defend this city." ” Ibeya was not an ordinary little girl who could fool the past with a sentence or two, and she questioned suspiciously, "Really?
I know that your resurrection tower is gone, and that you have very few full-time combatants in the city, so what can you do with just those diplomats and merchants?
” Xiao Lin's face became serious, and he pondered for a moment before he slowly spoke: "This is also the reason why I came to you, to be honest, Ambassador Liang also has a headache with you, just like you said, relying only on us people, in the absence of the Resurrection Tower, it is very difficult to help Rose keep the king, so I hope to get your help." ” "Me?"
Ibeya was stunned, and immediately reacted intelligently: "Do you want to rely on those dark families?"
” Xiao Lin nodded: "You may already know that the guards of the royal capital are only a few thousand people, and the other armies may have become undead outside the city, and the civilians and merchants in the city have not undergone any training, in comparison, your families are born with stronger combat power than the Norma humans, so I hope to get them to help defend the city." ” Ibeya also smiled bitterly: "Brother Xiao Lin, do you want to give orders through our Saint Croix family?"
Although it is said that in the previous game, you killed Vero Augustus and made our Santa Cro family gain more prestige, I heard from my uncle that many people have visited the door in the past two days, which was unimaginable before......
But Brother Xiao Lin, you should know about the grievances between our dark race and humans, right?
” "I've studied history in class, and I've read books in the library."
Xiao Lin replied that the dark race was once the ruler of a certain period in ancient times, but the human race took away the ruler, and the dark race was reduced to a shady existence, and it would even be hunted everywhere.
Even if it is the Duchy of Rose, which allows the dark race to live, those families and the royal family are only in a cooperative relationship, and as for the transaction of interests in it, it is even more complicated, Xiao Lin is not interested in knowing, in short, they will definitely not treat the Norma humans as friends.
"They don't want to wait for the rebels to enter the city and then cooperate with each other, right?"
Ibeya was a little embarrassed and silent, Xiao Lin understood her expression, the undead legion outside the city showed that the other party also had necromancers, necromancers belonged to the dark race, as the same kind, they would undoubtedly trust more.
Is Asabeno someone to be trusted?
Definitely not!
That old immortal priest stubbornly wants to take revenge on the earthlings, and will only drag everyone into the quagmire of his own revenge, and as long as the dark families of the royal capital are involved, when the time comes, the Dawning Academy will let them never recover.
Of course, Xiao Lin didn't care about the life or death of those families, but the Saint Crow family of Ibea was in it, and it was also the former golden family, and Xiao Lin didn't want to affect Ibea when settling accounts in the future. …… The calm of the day gave the king plenty of time to prepare, such as dragging more of his battle preparations out of the warehouse, reinforcing the walls and equipment that had been damaged in the previous night's battle, and the archers of the undead legion, although not accurate, still caused some losses with occasional hits.
On the embassy's side, since it was decided to help defend the city, Liang Taibai also decisively entered the palace again to meet the king, to Xiao Lin's surprise, Liang Taibai brought himself with him again, instead of other diplomats, although Xiao Lin didn't know what role he could play.
The king did not immediately show surprise and welcome at the embassy's entry into the war, but directly questioned with a very unceremonious and cautious attitude: "What do you want from me?"
” Xiao Lin, who was next to Liang Taibai, couldn't help but roll his eyes, this kind of kindness in the snow didn't appreciate this old man, no wonder Shuguang Academy didn't like this king very much these years.
Liang Taibai was accustomed to it, and still repeated with a smile the position of himself and Shuguang Academy, which is nothing more than that both sides are allies and have decades of friendship, and they must help each other in times of crisis, etc., in short, they are commonly used diplomatic phrases on the earth.
The king looked a little confused, Xiao Lin could understand his feelings and even sympathize with him, China's unique diplomatic rhetoric was very broad and profound, and it was not so easy for the Normas to understand.
However, seeing that Liang Taibai did not make the slightest request, the king hesitated a little, and could only nod his head in agreement, he had no second choice, and generously said that he would transfer the command of the city to Liang Taibai.
