Chapter 1200: Section 733: Choice (1)

It should be from Faye or Clovis; these two mage girls have connections with Ails, usually asking him to handle mage-related issues, such as undead spell formations. In this regard, I’m afraid all the mages and Immortal Masters on this planet are no match for Ails.

But why didn’t they contact Malin directly?

With a sense of doubt, Malin received the cylinder and took out a small note from it.

Northern civil war, your coordinates are invalid, return quickly.

Not many words, but full of information, Malin frowned and looked at Sage Qian: "Sage Qian, did you find out anything?"

"I did, after the Chaos that killed the entire Gold Boat Ensemble entered the city, they hid in the old barn in the west of the city, which is near the police station and ironically became unnoticed," Sage Qian said and looked at the small note in Malin’s hand: "What happened?"

"The Northern Kingdom in Westland has erupted into a civil war." Malin made no effort to avoid the topic: "Regarding the mission team, cover for me a bit; I don’t want the ambassadors from the Northern Kingdom to end up dueling or assassinating teammates due to political differences."

"The way you say it, sir." Sage Qian was just about to laugh when he saw the seriousness on Malin’s face, he chuckled doubtfully: "What, could it really happen?"

"Yes, believe me, I’ve judged that in the worst-case scenario, the entire nobility of the Northern Kingdom will be eradicated, just like those revolutions that broke out as human history advanced into the 19th and 20th centuries." Malin nodded.

Sage Qian was silent for a moment: "They... have an ideology now?"

"They call it North Doctrine, which is why I help them. The Northern Kingdom has serfs, and freemen are not much better off...," some words Malin didn’t want to say, indeed in all of Westland, the theory of bloodline exists, with the talented becoming nobles and nobles intermarrying, like the family of Logan. All this was due to the invasion of Subspace, with the world teetering on the brink of destruction. Even Malin had to admit that if it weren’t for the nobles fighting for their own status, the world would have already been destroyed, and there would be no need for people like Malin to be summoned to fill the sky.

However, at the same time, Malin had to admit that those serfs almost have no dignity as humans, and those freemen were merely given a layer of so-called freedom, while the nobles could still take away everything from them at will.

Malin had thought more than once that if it weren’t for Chaos, he would have long supported those who believe in North Doctrine, sweeping these nobles into the garbage heap of history.

But precisely because Chaos exists and Subspace increasingly interacts and approaches this world, Malin had to begrudgingly admit that the nobility—look, if the human world consumes too many valuable Transcendents and a large amount of manpower in a civil war, what would this world use to fight against Chaos?

Malin himself still didn’t have any certainty—indeed, Malin has the heart to sacrifice himself to fight Chaos, but the question is how to sacrifice, and Malin still hasn’t figured it out.

So, when Sage Qian indicated that they would handle the upcoming matters, Malin could only choose to take Lulu back to Westland—let Justice not go over, she would be without any kin, unable to accomplish anything without her sisters by her side.

Justice understood this too, but she still comforted Lulu, who was very worried about her family.

Lulu should be the girl most worried about the North in the family. If Faye and Nova’s worries are due to fear that this Northern civil war will ultimately turn into a confrontation between the upper and lower classes of all Westland, then Lulu is worried about her family in the North.

But Malin couldn’t just open a door and return to Copenhagen directly, who knew whether the city was still peaceful or had already entered the brutal warfare of citizens building barricades and the Royalist Party?

So they ended up returning to the Rongma City palace of Farole.

The girls were all there, and as soon as Malin returned, he was overwhelmed by the intelligence they had already organized.

The Northern Kingdom’s civil war had entered its fourth day, with both sides engaged in brutal exchanges south of Copenhagen, with the Revolutionary Army led by the four-member council of North Doctrine—in fact, the eleven-member council now only had four left.

This matter needs to start from half a month ago when Link Svenson and Jon Svenson were still recuperating in the south, and the officers arranged by Malin were still investigating the cause of death of Mendel Ericsson, while Pinto Olsson was still busy alongside Eric Wood for the expansion of the North Doctrine.

On that day, Ragleoff Tender was killed, the cause of death being cardiac arrest. Before his death, Ragleoff had attended a banquet held by the Mage Tower, where the mages drank a lot, and Ragleoff was sent home. The next day, his family found him dead; the autopsy report stated this.

Originally, this matter would have just passed like that, but on the third day, while hosting people from various sectors coming to express condolences, his family expressed some concern to Antoine—a key that Ragleoff always carried was missing, and they all saw Ragleoff place it on his chest tied with a string.

This aroused Antoine’s vigilance—there were many things in Ragleoff’s safe, the most important to the North Doctrine was the list of mid-level cadres.

Antoine, together with Todd Spencer, dismantled the safe’s door in the presence of Ragleoff’s family and took everything out of it.
