Chapter 838: Are you trying to start a war?
Suofa changed her clothes and finally dared to come out of the chapel. At this time, the big loli Russ, Little Yi, and the two young nuns in the courtyard were testing their new equipment. Robb gave them the best materials he could find, such as the life staff that Little Yi and the two nuns held. Not only did it greatly increase their intelligence, but it also had the restorative effect of holy light magic and could summon the spirit "Angry Tree of Life" inside. It can be said to be a super equipment that combines offense and defense.
The clothes they were wearing were made from mooncloth that the elven clan helped make. The intelligence boost from the mooncloth robes was terrifying. Now, Little Yi could easily heal with her magic, making her a formidable healer.
The girls also wore two earrings, a necklace, and rings on their fingers, all providing various insane effects.
They were all very satisfied with their current strength.
However, Robb couldn't help but shake his head and feel a bit uneasy. Although these equipment were impressive in this world, they were still not enough to fight against the black dragon. But now it was already late autumn in the year 1351, and there were only a few months left until the new year.
The last time during the year of the black dragons flight, with the tolling of the New Year's bell, the black dragon came. And this time, the black dragon might also arrive at that time, but the equipment of these girls would still not be enough to contend with the black dragon.
While he was pondering over this issue, the crystal ball placed on the table emitted a shimmering light, indicating a call from The Queen.
Robb answered the call, and the stern face of The Queen appeared on the other side. She glanced at the women behind Robb and sneered, "Not bad, all of them look radiant. Even the nuns who swore to defend their poverty are dressed up like noblewomen. What are you up to?"
Robb smiled and said, "Don't be sarcastic. You're included too."
With that, he casually tossed a package containing a complete set of equipment into the transmission gate.
The queen was momentarily stunned, but quickly had a guard retrieve the package. Then she took the package and went into another room. After a while, when she reappeared in front of the crystal ball, she had already changed into a set of mooncloth robe, holding the life staff, and wearing a full set of jewelry. She looked equally radiant and stunning.
Her mood seemed to have improved slightly as she sneered, "You have conscience. You actually remembered to make a set for me too. But let me remind you, I am a queen, so the clothes I need should be a bit more special. It wouldn't be appropriate if they looked exactly the same as theirs."
Robb slapped his forehead and said, "Oh! Right! You're also a troublesome one."
He waved his hand, and the goblin attire flew over again. He tossed it into the transmission gate and said, "Here, this is for you."
Without even trying it on, the queen knew it was goblin attire because she had seen it through the crystal ball before. She snorted and said, glancing sideways, "You actually want me to wear this? Are you trying to declare war on me? I must warn you, a woman in madness is terrifying. Besides magic, I can also spit and step on toes. You might not be able to handle my repertoire."
Robb was taken aback and exclaimed, "Damn, these are indeed terrifying. In a way, they're scarier than the black dragon."
Hastily starting over, he waved his hand, and a roll of white cloth flew over. Holding it in his hand, he pondered. Queen's dress? There's no equipment with such decoration. What could be used as a substitute? Oh, right! A wedding dress. It's essentially the same as the queen's dress.
He casually rubbed it, creating a set of snow-white wedding dress, and threw it into the transmission gate, saying, "Try this!"
The queen left in front of the crystal ball.
Fitting room...
Fitting room...
Fitting room...
After a while, she still hadn't returned, leaving Robb greatly surprised. He shouted at the crystal ball, "Hey, where are you? Come back and answer the call."
After shouting for a while, the queen didn't come back. Instead, number 1, oh no, the current leader of the court magicians, archmage number 1, walked over and bowed to the crystal ball, saying, "Her Majesty blushed and ran back to her chambers. She refuses to come out no matter what. I even almost broke down the door, but she ignored me. She said, I can't answer your call anymore. Please understand."
Robb: "..."
Archmage number 1 continued, "However, Her Majesty whispered behind the door that she can't rashly agree to this matter and needs to consider it. I don't know what she means."
Robb: "..."
Well, this is awkward. Robb said, "We've gotten off track again. What did she want to tell me when she called? We ended up discussing clothes and forgot about the real issue."
Archmage number 1 said, "Here's the thing. Recently, our spies deployed in the colonies of the Kingdom of Norma have sent back some interesting news. It seems that the colonial territories of the Kingdom of Norma are facing a lot of unrest."
"Oh?" Robb inquired, "What happened?"
Number 1 said, "Some Normans who have long resided in the Maya continent have begun to contemplate the correctness of colonial policies. They are attempting to manage the colonies in their own way. However, the Kingdom of Norma has issued strong orders, demanding the generals stationed to continue implementing a ruthless policy and vigorously transport resources back to the homeland."
As soon as Robb heard this, he understood, "Ha!"
It's simple. When you're far away from the throne, the orders may not be followed. In other words, heaven is high and the emperor is far away.
The colonies are isolated on the seaside, far from the control of the Kingdom of Norma. The governors stationed here, who are at the forefront of managing the colonies, naturally have their own thoughts. Moreover, they need to consider their own interests. However, the important figures in the homeland may not know about these things. Their understanding of the situation in the front is unclear, yet they blindly give orders from the rear and continuously raise demands for resources.
This contradicts the interests of the colonial governors.
It would be strange if the governors of the colonies didn't have any rebellious thoughts under these circumstances...
Robb asked, "What is the plan of the queen?"
Number 1 replied in a low voice, "Her Majesty's intention is for our kingdom to secretly provide financial and logistical support to the colonial governors who rebel, creating chaos and causing the collapse of the colonial system of the Kingdom of Norma."
"That's really wicked," Robb chuckled. "The queen is always thinking about these sinister things. She truly is a deeply sinful woman."
Number 1 didn't dare to join in Robb's mocking of the queen and pretended not to hear that remark. He said in a low voice, "Her Majesty called you to ask for your opinion on how to handle this matter. She didn't expect the conversation to veer off course as soon as the call connected."
Robb burst into laughter, "Well, my opinion is, don't get involved in these boring conspiracies. Don't meddle in colonial affairs. Just focus on managing your overseas city-states and developing the navy."
