Chapter 150 Morgan's Meeting
Chapter 150 Morgan's Meeting
"Your father will not just stay here. If one day he goes south again, and I, as the Viscount of Rick, want to help him, what should I do?" Carl said to Nura.
Seeing that Noura did not answer, he continued:
"And this is not just for me, but also to help you. Today's explosive packs and projectile pits are just the most primitive prototypes. To make real weapons, you need an industrial system, a large number of workers and blacksmiths. The tribe cannot provide these, only large cities can do it."
Indeed, if we want to enter a true age of firearms, we must have a complete industry, densely populated cities, and a large number of technical talents, so cannons and even muskets are not impossible.
After hearing this, Noura sighed deeply:
"Why don't you understand? That's why Daddy won't let you go! Your weapons are a threat to us!"
"You will only become a threat if you go south, otherwise you will be a help." Carl replied. He paused, then said, "So... you will go south sooner or later. Even if I help you resist the orcs, this will not change..."
Noura's expression dimmed. She did not directly answer Karl's question, but said softly:
"Just stay here for now, don't bring yourself to die..."
"I'm not stupid..." Carl said helplessly.
Then he saw Nura nodded and left the tent, leaving him sitting there alone with a melancholy look on his face.
At the same time, in the meeting hall of Rickburg, Alia, Selena, Jim and Aisha sat around a long table. The atmosphere around them was extremely tense, and several people had stern faces and did not say a word.
The door to the chamber opens, and Arya slams the table as Amira and Eleanor enter. Then she glares at Amira.
"How could you do this?"
"What?" The female mage still looked leisurely.
"You handed him over to the tribe~" Alia's voice was terribly low, and almost everyone could feel the girl's suppressed anger.
“Yes,” Amira says, still nonchalantly.
"Who allowed you to do this!" Then Alia's voice suddenly increased and she knocked on the table again.
"Myself!" Amira acted as if it was a matter of course and did not back down.
"What did you say?"
"I made my own judgment, and it was the wisest judgment, after careful consideration," she continued.
"How dare you?" Arya's emotions were a little out of control, and it seemed that she would draw her sword and chop the female mage at any time.
“Why shouldn’t I? I am not a vassal and I don’t need to obey orders. Little girl, even Carl has never spoken to me like this, so you are not qualified to tell me what to do~” Amira raised her head high, once again revealing the arrogance of a wizard.
"Well... Lady Alia, the situation was very critical. In order to save Lord Carl, we really had no choice..." Eleanor explained for Amira.
But before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Alia:
"Shut up, what right do you have to speak? You must be enjoying this~"
"I..." Eleanor wanted to say something, but swallowed it back.
“What are you explaining to her? Now that her lover has been kidnapped, she has lost her mind and bites everyone she sees.” Amira continued to speak in a contemptuous and arrogant tone.
"Do you think you can do whatever you want just because you are a wizard? Let me tell you, if Carl hadn't been willing to take you in, you would be a hated freak and would die at the hands of the Church sooner or later!"
When Arya said this, everyone present felt Amira's anger, and burning flames suddenly sprang up from the girl's hands.
"Want to fight? Okay!" Alia drew out her sword without hesitation.
For a moment, the two of them were on edge. Selena shouted at the side:
"Calm down, both of you. The adults are gone now. If we continue to fight among ourselves at this time..."
Jim also waved his hands to try to ease the atmosphere: "Anyway, let's stop arguing. Let's calm down and think about what to do next."
Amira puts away her flames, and Arya sheathes her sword.
Then she shook her head helplessly and said:
"I don't mean to quarrel. It's only been a short time since we took over Morgan County. The situation is not stable yet, and this has happened! So many old officials are watching, and Tilda Morgan is still sitting on the earl's seat..."
She couldn't say any more when she got to this point, as if a ruthless pressure was pressing down on her throat, and she couldn't say the rest of the words, and everyone around her understood this feeling. They had never thought that this would happen, and without Karl, it was as if the sky was about to fall. The atmosphere became extremely solemn.
Then Alia lowered her head and said in a somewhat exhausted voice:
"You said you are a wise man, so you should understand the relationship..."
Amira looks at Arya, then shakes her head.
"I'm going back to Rickburg right now. No matter what, that's our last base camp and we can't afford to lose it."
"Then please." Selena said.
The female mage didn't say anything, just nodded and walked out.
Then Selena said to Jim and Aisha:
"You two should return to your castles immediately. Alia and I will hold on to Candlelight Keep, but we also need your assistance to ensure that there is no chaos."
"What should we do?" Jim asked.
"Gather the troops and wait nearby. If there is any change, enter the city immediately!"
"I understand. Leave it to us." Aisha nodded.
After everyone left, Selena came to the dejected Alia and poured her a glass of wine:
"You were impulsive. You and I both know the situation at that time. To be honest, you can't blame her."
"I know, she was in a hurry to save Carl's life, and she had no choice...but..." Alia sighed again and drank the wine in the glass, "She came here and still acted like she didn't care about anything, and she didn't even want to explain..."
"That's just her character, but she knows the pros and cons." Selena said, then she patted Alia on the back and said, "Go take a rest, don't let your emotions affect you, everything that comes next will be crucial."
Alia nodded silently, then stood up and walked out.
