The Origin of Arcane

Being thin has the benefit of being thin, which is a natural hanger on clothes.

A soft face has the advantage of a soft face, that is, it is naturally attractive to people.

As a designer, she is naturally proficient in how to bring out the beauty of women to the extreme. The new personality she created for herself is an intellectual lady style.

For this new persona, Sophia didn't just change her clothes and hairstyle. She didn't say anything about her complexion, her behavior pattern changed obviously, and her sitting posture and conversation all changed dramatically, which is the most standard court etiquette.

Court etiquette is certainly a kind of bondage to people, and it is also a way to show beauty. After so many years of evolution, it has excavated the elegance and beauty to the extreme.

If he walked on the street without knowing it and suddenly met each other, Sean would not dare to recognize him.

He had to sigh that women are the scariest creatures in the world, as long as they want to, there is nothing they can't do.

In the territory, as long as I do my job well, no one will despise me, but it won't work here. I represent not only myself, but also the face of the territory. Just my face, and the lord's.

With just the right smile on Sophia's face, she said in a calm tone.

Besides, the profession I'm in and the people I deal with are quite special. If my taste is too bad or too special, there is no way to win the approval of customers, and it is not convenient to blend in with them, let alone learn from them. Get the information on you.

I didn't misunderstand the person at the time, you were born to do this job. Sean sincerely praised that the other party was better than he imagined.

The people led by the Yong Ye Army are not simple.

Sophia's convenient identity is here, and the Yong Ye army leader will certainly not let it go.

Before coming to Valesta, she had undergone professional espionage training.

In fact, the personnel stationed abroad under the Yongye Army, regardless of whether they are military or commercial, will have similar experiences.

You don't necessarily need to use them to spy on information, at least to prevent yourself from inadvertently leaking information, right?

If there is an opportunity, it is inevitable to assist the military leader in spying on intelligence.

The job Sophia is engaged in is destined to have a natural advantage. In many cases, she doesn't need to spy at all, and the information will come to her on her own initiative.

Those noble ladies and noble ladies who asked her to customize clothes are the best sources of information.

A lot of information may not be obtained from the parties concerned, and their family members, relatives and friends may have sold them out unintentionally.

These days, there are not many forces who pay as much attention to secrecy as the Yongye Army Leader. To be more precise, they don't have this awareness at all, and they don't know the importance of it.

They didn't even know that their inadvertent words had leaked a lot of things.

Especially in the hands of those professionals led by the Yong Ye Army, what they eat is this bowl of rice.

The Yongye military leader has taken the lead in every aspect, whether military or commercial, and they have contributed a lot.

Now Sophia has become the number one leader of the Eternal Night Army in Valesta, the capital, and many resources here are provided for her to deploy, including Sean's guards.

During Sean's absence in Valesta, they all belonged to Sophia.

The lord thinks highly of me. No matter how hard I try, I'm still not as good as the lord. Sophia said sincerely, without hiding her affection for Sean in her eyes.

This kind of emotion is very complicated, including the elements of love between men and women, admiration, and worship of idols.

Sophia was neither the first nor the last to have such feelings for Sean, it was destined by her origin.

But most people, who are too far away from Sean, will transform this feeling into pure loyalty over time.

If Sophia continues to remain anonymous as before, it is estimated that it will be the same.

But because of her special skills, she took a completely different path and returned to Xiao En's side. The feelings that had been suppressed before unconsciously began to emerge again.

She spared no effort to change herself, was it really just because of what she said?

I'm afraid not at all.

Women are those who please themselves.

It seems that the only one they love is the one who really makes them willing to make changes regardless of rewards.

Spending hours grooming himself before Sean landed, showing his best self, is the proof of that.

Although she knows that this relationship will never belong, and she may not even get a response, but she is still like a moth seeing an open flame, and she can't help but jump up.

If she was really the kind of woman who knows how to adapt, she would not have persisted in the path of fashion design until now.

Facing Sophia's fiery gaze, Sean withdrew his gaze, which had been admiring the beautiful scenery, and sat upright, as if he didn't feel this emotion.

The most difficult debt in this world is emotional debt.

This kind of debt, I was not willing to take it lightly before, and now I am even more unwilling to take it lightly. This is not only responsible for myself, but also for my future wife and family.

But many things in this world are not determined by personal will, nor will they not exist because they do not face them squarely, especially the aspect of feelings.

Sean suddenly discovered that letting Sophia ride in the same car with him was a test for himself.

Originally, the scenery is a test of self-control, but the harsher test is that you only need to nod your head in tacit agreement, and everything will be delivered to your door, which is even more difficult.

Have you brought all the materials I asked you to prepare? Sean shifted the topic to the business to distract himself.

I brought them all. Sophia handed several documents to Xiao En one by one, This one is the original version of the pamphlet that was relied upon when the eight major families of the Byron Alliance signed the covenant, and this one is the revised and edited version. , This is the statistics of the eight companies’ recent implementation of the agreement. Due to the rush of time, the last data collection is not comprehensive, and many of them are hearsay. The authenticity has not yet been verified, so it can only be used as a reference.”

After Sean broke up with Angel Bena, Flying Eagle immediately sent a letter to Sophia, asking her to collect information on the eight major families and find out the real position of the Grand Duke in the Byron Alliance. He didn't want to fall into the pit in a daze.

This is the real reason Sean called Sophia over to meet him.

While flipping through the information, Sean said, Tell me briefly, what you know.

Okay! Sophia's tone was obviously quickened this time, The relationship between the eight Duke families of the Byron Alliance is far more complicated than it appears, especially after so many years of development, some things are more difficult to clarify. Separately, one is before the split of the Odin Empire, and the other is after the split of the Odin Empire.

Sophia obviously did enough homework, and the conditioning is very clear.

Let's talk about it. Xiao En did not have a clear target for collecting information this time. He also had a certain understanding of the situation of the Byron Alliance, but it was not systematic. The bad side of yourself.

Then let's start from the beginning. The establishment of the Byron Alliance has a profound historical background. The destruction of the ancient Andes Empire was not completed in a year or two, but placed on a long timeline of a hundred years. The rebel army of the tyranny of the Dis Empire has been active for more than half a century. The main opponent in the middle and late stages is the Odin orcs who are the executioners of the warlocks of the ancient Andes Empire. A fatal blow to the ancient Andean Empire.

Under the attack of the two sides, the ancient Andes Empire persisted for nearly 30 years before it completely disintegrated. By the way, the most elite part of the rebel coalition forces was pitted to death in the Andes Mountains.

The war that lasted for a hundred years destroyed the whole of Arshan. Coupled with food shortages and rampant plagues, the entire social system collapsed, and there was a big retreat. In the interior, there are many hills, each doing its own thing. If the fight continues, there may be only one, and that is to let the savage Odin orcs take over this land. Cannibalism.

In order to avoid genocide, the eight largest powers at that time formed an alliance, which was the prototype of the Byron Alliance. It took them nearly half a century to clear out the other small powers, and finally formed a situation where the eight powers stood together .

At that time, the Odin Empire was still a complete country, able to mobilize millions of soldiers at every turn. The Byron Alliance had to work together to avoid the crisis of national subjugation and extinction. So at that time, although they did not have the name of an empire, they actually had the name of an empire. In fact, 30% of the output of the major families will be allocated free of charge to support the front line of Miracle Peninsula and Broken Blood Castle. This is also the content stipulated in the pamphlet.

Continue. Sean nodded, indicating that he had been listening.

This situation slowly changed after the Odin Empire took over the Miracle Peninsula, the original territory of the Commons family, and divided it into two. For a long time, the conflict between the Eastern and Western Odin Empires was very serious. Sharp, frequent wars broke out, and there was no time to pay attention to the Byron Alliance. While this gave the eight major families a chance to breathe, it also made them gradually selfish. After filling it up, it turned into various deductions in the end.

Up to now, although the other six major families have not completely stopped the aid to Broken Blood Fort, compared with the peak period, there is no one in ten, especially in the past ten years, the situation has been worse.

The Man Yu military leader has become a pot of gruel, and there is no unified regime until now, and their assistance has basically stopped. Only in the past two years, Countess Angelberina has assisted a lot of military supplies in Broken Blood Castle in her own name. .

Because the Kingsley family is competing with us for the Swamp of Despair, funds are tight, and aid has also shrunk. This year, it may even be stopped directly. It is not known when they want to recover.

Not to mention the Commons family, ever since they lost the Miracle Peninsula, they have always held grudges against the Byron Alliance, thinking that the other seven families betrayed them in order to split the Odin Empire. Since then, the supply has stopped .

The Bryan family on the Huayu Plateau has always been relatively isolated due to geographical reasons, and it is difficult to supply military supplies here, so they provided most of the troops in the early days, and in the later stages they provided support by providing bachelors and university bachelors.

Now it is the Lancelot royal family and the Holt family and Harrison family of the Gemini Peninsula who are really maintaining the supply of Blood Castle.

The two major families in the Gemini Peninsula can maintain normal supplies. Apart from their bordering land with Theodin Empire, they will be harassed by them. There are also members of the Witch Secret Council who have been trying to get closer to the Lancelot royal family. Check and balance the Holy See of Saint Ether through the royal family.

Although what Sophia said was brief, it can be regarded as the development history of the entire Byron Alliance, and the situation is far more complicated than imagined.

It was intricately rooted, and the forces involved were far more than the Eastern and Western Odin Empires and the eight Duke families of the Byron Alliance, as well as the three major national organizations of the Holy See of Ether, the Witches' Conclave, and the Union of Warlocks.

Not to mention that there are countless tribes under the Eastern and Western Odin Empires, and there are countless nobles and nobles under the Eight Dukes of the Byron Alliance, each with its own interests.

This kind of understanding made Xiao En couldn't help taking a high look at Sophie Liya.

The other party was able to ascend to the position of regent at the age of fifteen in such a chaotic situation, and sat for more than ten years. Of course, her grandfather, Grand Duke Cedric, supported the relationship behind her, and her own ability cannot be ignored. .

The other party's burden is heavier than I imagined.

Especially after the rise of the Yong Ye army leader led by him, this balance has been broken.

If he hadn't been able to bring a lot of benefits to the Lancelot royal family through the Jacob River, the Lancelot royal family represented by Sophie Liya might stand firmly behind the Kingsley family and eat the Swamp of Despair.

Why the Lancelot royal family is unwilling to see the Kingsley family obtain their own grain production land, but it is all an excuse.

The threat of the Odin orcs will not be eliminated for a day, and the Kingsley family will not dare to become independent even if they get the grain production area of ​​the Desperate Swamp. At most, the royal family of Lancelot wants to exploit them, which is far from being so easy.

At the end of the day, everything is for self-interest.

Looking at the history of the Byron League gave him a deeper understanding of the relationship of interests.

Especially when the power develops to a certain extent, the proportion of personal feelings will become smaller and smaller, and the final thing to look at is the interests of both parties.

Inside the carriage fell into a silence of thinking, but outside the carriage was extremely lively.

Countless citizens of Valesta with good deeds are flocking to their convoy. It is human nature to like to watch the excitement, even the citizens of Valesta who think they are superior to others are no exception.

Even though they were far away, Sean could clearly hear their conversation.

Look, look, it's the gift-giving team led by Yongye Army. I wonder what new tricks they will play this time?

That upstart baron is going to show off again? There are quite a lot of things about him these days. I heard that someone is planning to support him as the ninth Grand Duke of the Byron Alliance. If he succeeds, he will be promoted the fastest in history. The fastest person, but after hearing this news, why is it so annoying?

Are you jealous? A barbarian who was despised by you originally rode on your head as soon as he turned his head. It is understandable to feel upset, but I suggest you not to do stupid things. He is in the limelight now. Although There is only the title of baron, but the power of the Grand Duke is real.

Hey, who knows if it's true or not. This nouveau riche is famous for bragging. Every time he gives a gift, he makes such a big show. Who knows if their strength is a bluff.

A bluff? Do you think the current appearance of the Kingsley family looks like a bluff? Many people thought that the Kingsley family and the leader of the Yongye Army fought in the Swamp of Despair and lost both sides. As a result, as soon as the negotiations were completed and the 100,000 troops were transferred back, So he killed those cheap pickers, blood flowed into rivers, not only vomited out the meat they ate, but also vomited blood one by one.

I heard that the first war ransom paid by the Kingsley family to the leader of the Yong Ye army was squeezed from them. It was 15 million royal gold coins, 15 million? What is the concept? At the same time, it is a small mountain. I heard that it took a whole day just to load the ship. The draft of the ship led by the Yongye army has dropped by more than one meter. This golden mountain alone can kill countless people. People, and this is only the first sum, there are five million a year, do you think it’s scary?”
