Casting spells

If they didn't have enough money, they might have fled this place long ago and went to those relatively safe big cities.

"Interesting! This place is preparing for the upcoming war. I just don't know if the enemy they are planning to deal with is me, or the Queen who has just taken the throne and made big moves soon." Kerwin muttered with a sneer language.

There was no doubt that the atmosphere was very much to his taste.

Because if it is dealing with Vilia, it means that he will get a good ally, at least he can throw it out at a critical moment as cannon fodder and a victim.

But if he is going to deal with him, it means that his strength has been recognized by neighboring countries, and he should not encounter too much resistance when he announces his coronation and enthronement to establish a country.

"My lord, I suggest you be careful. In any case, this is not our sphere of influence. If they choose to betray you, there might be an assassination." Baron Kailanster, who was always inseparable behind him, lowered his voice and reminded .

Kerwin waved his hand nonchalantly: "Relax, my baron, those rats hiding in the dark don't have the guts at all. Remember, although conspiracy can often have unexpected results, it is still the one that ultimately determines the relationship between the two parties." It is power, absolute power. As long as I am strong enough, then anyone who wants to launch an assassination will bear the risk of failure."

"I never doubt your judgment. But the problem is that not everyone in this world is sane, and there are many arrogant and self-righteous idiots. According to my experience, their behavior is often unpredictable. " Baron Kellanster explained while staring at his surroundings.

His hand never left the hilt of his sword, and in the event of an emergency, he could draw out his weapon within a second at most to stop all enemies rushing over.

"Hmph! No need to predict, I'm not as fragile as you think. Let's go, don't make the guy who invited us wait too long, they don't have too much patience."

After finishing speaking, Kerwin pulled his hood tightly to cover his face, quickly walked into a dark alley, kicked away the beggars who were trying to get up to ask for money, and walked into an unremarkable tavern around the corner... …

Chapter 99 Tempting Proposal

Similar to most slum taverns, this place is also full of all kinds of pungent sour smells, as well as the smell of cheap perfumes worn by women in special service industries.

Those alcoholics with little money were crazily drinking bad wine with some random stuff added into their mouths, and some were drunk, throwing up in the corner from time to time, while turning around and chatting unscrupulously with other alcoholics laugh.

It can be said that anyone with a little bit of status would never allow himself to walk into such a rubbish place.

But what's interesting is that there are a few guys who are out of tune with the surrounding environment in the place where the dance performance is watched on the second floor of the tavern.

Especially the bearded man in the lead exudes an aura of superiority, so that even hooligans who like to make trouble dare not approach easily.

As for the reason, it was very simple. Beside him, there was a severed hand that fell to the ground, and the dazzling red blood lay on the ground.

According to the amount of bleeding and the medical and sanitation conditions that the bottom-level residents of this world can enjoy, the possibility of surviving will never exceed [-]%.

After careful observation of these people, Kerwin stepped forward and greeted with a smile: "Good evening, dear friend. If I'm not wrong, you should be waiting for someone, aren't you?"

"That's right! We're waiting for someone, and you're the one we're waiting for." The bearded man raised his hood slightly, revealing a slightly old but majestic face.

He is none other than the supreme ruler of the land under his feet, King Harrison known as the Lion of Oros.

Perhaps the entire continent would never have imagined that a powerful monarch with great prestige and great military exploits who once led his country to expand its borders would have a private meeting with a notorious tyrant in a tavern in a slum.

"Good afternoon, Your Majesty, it is a great honor to be recognized by you. In comparison, there are not many monarchs in this continent who can be regarded by you." Kerwin sat down and picked up his cup. Gudong drank all the wine.

I don't know why, he had obviously received strict etiquette training, but at this moment he put on a rude look, which made a female guard next to him frown.

But Harrison didn't care about this, and nodded with a smile on his face: "You are right. I am a proud person, and I am also a stern and demanding king. In my eyes, those who inherit their fathers who work hard A mediocre monarch who conquered the country is not worthy of standing with me. But you are different. Your surging ambitions have surprised and frightened me. Besides you, the young queen is also a very powerful person, They were able to abruptly save the country from the brink of extinction."

"Are you complimenting me?" Kerwin put down his wine glass and wiped his mouth with his sleeve, probing with a half-smile.

"Praise? No! I'm just explaining a fact. You and she are threatening me, and the threat is not small. Of course, her threat is a little bigger than you. After all, the power of that weapon is already in the It has been proven on the battlefield, and I really can’t think of any way to resist such a terrifying thing. How about it, are you interested in joining forces with me to find a way to make that weapon? I know, you have always been eager Change my humble origin, so as long as you agree, I am willing to marry my beloved daughter to you as a wife, and even support you to be crowned as king to establish a valuation."

The scheming Harrison cast his eyes on the young and beautiful women around him, and unhurriedly offered the conditions, revealing undisguised temptation between the lines.

In contrast, the young girl with long blond hair and wearing silver armor, which was more decorative than practical, had a livid face, and her eyes shot out with anger that could swallow people.

No need to ask, she knew that she hadn't received any news beforehand, and she didn't even know that the purpose of her trip was to marry.

Of course, the most important thing is not the marriage, but the marriage partner does not meet her inner vision of a husband.

Although Kerwin is not ugly, he is not handsome and good-looking. He can only be regarded as a middle-low level at most. In addition to his greed, lust, and unscrupulous actions for power, it does not seem to be worth entrusting him for life people.

But it is a pity that, as a princess of the royal family, it is impossible for her to have the right to freely choose marriage. The only value is to marry someone who is worth wooing when her father needs it, and offer her youth and beauty in exchange for the same. The other party forms an alliance.

"You plan to marry the princess to me?!" Kerwin raised his eyebrows in surprise, and glanced at the princess who was a little out of control from the corner of his eye.

Harrison nodded seriously, and responded calmly: "Yes! As long as you agree to marry my daughter and make the first born baby boy the heir, I will fulfill everything I promised. From now on, your country will be closely linked with my country, whether it is blood, political or military. I believe you should understand what it means to have my support, right?"

Kerwin smiled and sighed: "How could I not know! You are the lion of Oros. You defeated the three kingdoms' joint attack on your own, and even defeated them. A large piece of land, and eventually turned it into your own vassal. Your political and military achievements are simply a textbook for a king. I have been working hard for your goal, and it is definitely my honor to win your favor. The happiest thing in my life."

"Hahahaha! You are very good at talking! So what is your answer?" Harrison's eyes revealed strong expectations.

It is estimated that in his opinion, the probability of the other party choosing the same is almost [-]%, and there is no reason to refuse at all.

"Sorry, my answer is refusal. Because on the surface it looks like you have taken advantage of the terms agreed to you, but in fact you have put your hand into me. I am a person who is very sensitive to rights, and I will never Allow anyone to share it. Her Royal Highness may be young and beautiful, exuding a temptation that men cannot refuse, but the temptation of power is even greater for me. If you die one day, I will be more than happy to marry your daughter, but As long as you are still alive, I will not marry you, it is equivalent to letting you hold a dagger in my heart."

When he said these words, Kerwin didn't show any hesitation or hesitation on his face, and at the same time exuded the cruelty and tyranny that belonged to a tyrant...

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

The palace is always a place full of intrigue and calculation.

Especially in this continent where bloodlines and feudalism are the main ruling structures, wives can often enjoy part of the rights from sons and husbands.

Some powerful women can still seize power and financial power from their sons and husbands, and eventually turn the former into their own puppets or marionettes, while others are more direct, abolishing their husbands and sons to come to the fore in person.

Especially when the wife's family has great political influence, or comes from a powerful country's royal family, the probability of this happening is almost over 50.00%.

To some extent, marriage is not only a political and military alliance, but also a game between two allies. In the end, the dominant party may even have the opportunity to annex the weaker party.

However, in the eyes of most nobles, the annexation of this kind of blood fusion is acceptable.

But it was a pity that Kerwin, who was ambitious and humble, didn't want to be annexed at all, and he was even more unwilling to share some of the rights in his hands.

Because he is very clear that although he has an absolute and crushing advantage in the military, he is still too weak politically, so weak that even the people in the controlled area do not recognize him as the de facto ruler, but still insist on Claiming to be a citizen of the kingdom, it is estimated that it will not be possible to reverse it in one or two generations.

In this environment, not to mention marrying a prestigious and powerful monarch, it is tantamount to leading a wolf into the house.

Although Kerwin didn't think that a mere young princess could take away much power from him, the problem was that there would be many guys who were still waiting and hesitating, and would rather choose to be loyal to her than to himself.

Over time, more and more power will be gathered around this legal wife, and no matter whether she has such thoughts or not, she will be forced to be involved in the power struggle.

"Do you know what it means to refuse me?" Harrison narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of threat in his tone.

It had been a long time since he had met anyone who dared to reject him, no matter whether the opponent was the monarch of a country or a general with great military exploits under him.

"What, are you planning to lead an army to declare war on me? Or are you just verbally condemning me as a traitor and tyrant? No, you are a mercenary king through and through, and you would not do such a stupid thing. On the contrary, your greatest threat is to have Orthodox and righteous Vilia, no matter what, you will conclude an alliance with me. At least until we solve our common enemy, there will be no conflicts between us." Kerwin pursed his lips slightly, A smug expression emerged.

This is also the main reason why he is willing to take huge risks to come here.

Obviously, he didn't dare to act rashly until he figured out Zhang Cheng's real thoughts. The only way was to find someone he could throw away at any time.Or stab the cannon fodder with a knife in the back, and complete the temptation for yourself.

But Harrison didn't know this. Instead, he felt that he was the leader and the dominant party.

So he pondered for a while, and immediately laughed pretendingly: "Hahahaha! Good! Very good! You are one of the very few people in this world who dare to talk to me like this. I appreciate your ambition. But marriage is marriage, You must agree to this, and I will give you what you want. If you think it would be risky to marry my daughter, you can choose to get engaged first, and then hold the wedding when I am about to die. You know, there is nothing better than the fusion of blood. It can be reassuring.”
