Chapter 696

Flying in the sky is boring. As a result, Elia actually proposed to play Quint!

Yes, come out and play. She even brought Quint!

Donne was stunned when Elia said to Angus, "play Quint!"!

"No one in Ellington has won me!"

After Angus shouted this sentence, Donne felt the deep malice of the will of the universe.

Yes, he lost to Elia in less than five minutes

Edward, who was in high spirits, soon joined Angus.

Edward smiled and touched out his collection of cards: "I'll try. I still have some experience with Quint."

Half an hour later, Edward couldn't laugh because many of his rare cards were won by Elia

"It's impossible!"

Edward and Angus looked at each other blankly. They had been immersed for a long time. They couldn't even beat a little girl!?

What's more, she took an ordinary card set!

Is this unscientific? Yes, because it's magic

Donne's mouth twitched.

Who's Elia? The reincarnation of Ms. disaster!

She herself represents the embodiment of all disasters in the world. She can bear such strong disaster entanglement. In other words, she is the representative of "strong luck" in the world. Isn't it abuse to play this game of chance with her?

Elia carefully put away the rare cards, then looked forward to Donne: "big brother, do you want a game of Quint?"

"-- no!"

Don doesn't want his omnipotent image to collapse - he's not confident of winning Elia.

Ignoring the pouting Elia, Donne pretended to be focused on driving, but quietly pricked up his ears and continued to listen to the war.

On the next road, Angus and Edward didn't look good, because they didn't even win a set!

Both of them almost lost to Elia in the end.

At noon, they landed on a mountain top. After a simple lunch, they continued on their way until night fell, and then they found a place to camp.

By this time, they had crossed the border of the kingdom of saulant for a while.

In a sheltered valley, four people sat around a campfire, drinking hot mushroom soup, eating fresh and juicy steak, and listening to Edward introduce the kingdom of solant.

The scenery in the kingdom of solante is not very different from that of the Ilus empire. If you really want to say, it is that the dimension is higher and the temperature is low. There are more coniferous forests on the mountains here, and the snow line is lower than that of the Ilus empire.

As one of the most powerful kingdoms in the mainland at present, the territory of solant occupies about one quarter of the main mainland. The people here are rich and strong. The king of solant, Klein solant, is 65 years old. As an extraordinary swordsman, he could have been promoted to legend, but he is too obsessed with power, which has become his devil, It also led him to stay at the extraordinary level for many years.

But even so, the 65 year old extraordinary swordsman also means that he is strong and can rule the kingdom of solant for decades. In these years, the kingdom of solant will be as prosperous as ever.

Solant's economic prosperity comes from its rich mineral resources, forest resources, Warcraft resources and transactions with the Ryan empire. In addition, the name of solant's war horse is well-known in the mainland. Although it is not as cold resistant as the war horse of the Ryan Empire and its weight-bearing ability is not as good as that of the Ryan Empire, it is the best in terms of speed, endurance and explosive power. It is a symbolic production area of top-quality horses.

The Kingdom's rich metal deposits enable Klein to arm his army with high-performance steel. Abundant resources also enable the blacksmiths in the kingdom of solant to give full play to their ideas and practice their skills. Therefore, they have the highest average technology in the human kingdom.

Edward finally came to the conclusion: "... So generally speaking, since the fall of the ilrus Empire, the kingdom of solant and the kingdom of grace are now the two most powerful kingdoms of the human kingdom."

Angus shook his head: "these two kingdoms are the most promising countries to reunify mankind again. Unfortunately, they are not royal orthodoxy and will not receive the blessing of the Holy See of light."

In prandal, blood is both important and unimportant, which is contradictory, but it is also realistic. If you do not have Ilus royal blood, it is basically impossible to obtain the recognition of the Holy See of light - even Donne must marry OLINA to avoid this.

But it's important to say that OLINA was actually married by ronitant Kingdom, and she didn't have the blood of Ilus empire in her body. The real blood was Princess Aurelia - however, Princess Aurelia gave up the right of inheritance, so Donne had to choose queen OLINA.

This proves that whether there is real royal blood is not important, but the recognition of the Holy See of light.

Because the Holy See of light recognized Gillard Ilus as the human emperor under the will of God, they must maintain this tradition.

At least, the apparent lineage inheritance cannot be changed.

In addition, compared with the kingdom of solant, the military combat capability of the Ilus empire is simply terrible. On the one hand, it is the crushing of financial resources and equipment, on the other hand, it is the apocalypse.

In the army of the ilrus Empire, the ratio of apocalypse to ordinary soldiers is 1:100, that is, only one bronze Apocalypse among the average 100 soldiers.

In the kingdom of solante, the proportion is as high as one to fifty, which is fully twice as high.

The double number of apocalypses and the overall rolling of equipment mean that in the frontal battlefield, the army of the Ilus empire will be basically hoisted without pressure.

One of the most important reasons why the Ilus Empire has not been annexed and divided after so many years of decline is that the headquarters of the Holy See of light is in arlex.

"Sounds like a lot of trouble."

When Donne flew over at night, they saw several villages and towns on the road. From the scope of night lights, the scale of villages and towns in the kingdom of solant is obviously larger and more than that of the Ilus Empire, which means that the population of the kingdom of solant has more advantages.

That's a good thing.

Angus said with a smile, "it's not very troublesome, it's quite troublesome. If anyone hates you most now, there must be Klein solant."

When the news that Donne had married queen OLINA first came to Klein, the angry Klein broke several expensive crystal cups, and he almost waved south in anger.

This is a great opportunity for him to inherit the human tradition. Unfortunately, he was spoiled by Donne who was killed in the air. Can he not hate Donne?

"Whatever he wants, there are many people who hate me."

Donne didn't care about him at all.

Edward was a little embarrassed, but he continued: "my family, the hornheim family, now has a special status in the kingdom of solant..."

"Let me guess," Donne put down the dishes and wiped his mouth, "Because of inheriting the alchemy ability for many years, you are favored by Klein and become his exclusive technical consultant. The hornheim family provides alchemy support for the kingdom of solant and makes a lot of magic equipment to arm the soldiers of the kingdom of solant in exchange for the special status of the hornheim family in the kingdom of solant, right?"

"Yes..."

"Just think about it. I'm Klein, and I won't let you go."

Donne stood up and said, "for an ambitious person, any power that can enhance national strength must be attracted. What's more, your hornheim family is still a powerful alchemical family that designed the golden giant statue Legion in history? If he doesn't attract you, he will be a fool."

Edward said slowly: "the hornheim family provided alchemy support for his majesty klaette. On the one hand, they exchanged a lot of wealth for maintaining the family's beautiful life. On the other hand, they obtained the support of his majesty Klein. They can obtain some rare alchemy materials by simple means. The patriarch believes that this is a good choice for both sides."

"How many people are there in your hornheim family?"

Donne suddenly asked, "what I asked is, those who master alchemy and have the ability to make magic equipment?"

"At present, I know that there are 1500 people in the hornheim family who have mastered alchemy, of which more than 100 are at the same level as me and more than me."

"There are so many sleeping slots! What's their magic level?"

Donne was stunned, 1500 alchemists! That means there are at least 1500 magicians in the hornheim family! Magicians outside the jurisdiction of the city of silver!

If Klein could use the power of these magicians, he would have had the power to push the Ilus empire!

"The level of magic is average."

Edward explained: "they practice magic mainly to improve the level of alchemy. Therefore, most of their intensive study of arcane and flame spells are conducive to alchemy. As for practical ability... Sorry, I'm not sure."

Donne and Angus looked at each other, and there was some speculation in their hearts.

I'm afraid the actual combat ability of these magicians is not strong, but they have great strategic significance.

Not to mention anything else, although these magicians can't be the fortress of element magicians, they who study alchemy very well know the way of change. They can arbitrarily change the battlefield environment and strengthen their own soldiers in war. This strategy is of great significance.

Donne was so excited that he even had the impulse to dig into the corner of King Klein!

He didn't care about the strategic significance of these people, but took a fancy to their alchemy.

Would it take him so much trouble to get all these alchemists to Ellington?

Now those wild mages are all on their posts. It's better to kill them than let them learn alchemy, so they can only be responsible for some work of seal cutting magic array.

But with alchemists, Donne's own work will be much less, and the progress of many R & D work can be greatly improved.

But

How to dig this corner?
