My Princess Holds Superpowers-Chapter 618 magical telescope

Ye Jiu, despite not considering himself clever, could still detect the loopholes, "Sikong Young Master, if you do not wish to speak, there is no need to speak. There’s no need to fob me off with these things. Surely, just because Nanchang starts the war first, it doesn’t mean that the Northern Desert won’t take the opportunity to attack, right?"

"Therefore, the most important things in warfare are, ’the right moment, favorable terrain, and unity of people.’ One cannot do without any of them!" Sikong Mo said with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Seeing Ye Jiu’s clueless face, Sikong Mo lost the urge to tease her and explained, "The Northern Desert relies on raising cattle and sheep for a living. The people there are more straightforward but simple, and they will not attack another country unless they’re having a hard time. In the winter, when the grass withers, life in the Northern Desert is at its hardest, which is also why it’s the season most prone to war. Spring is different, with everything beginning to thrive and no lack of food and water, naturally, they would not start a war without reason."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu understood.

So, if the Northern Desert went to war, it meant that they were out of resources and just wanted some food, not that they sincerely wished to attack!

Moreover, there were other countries on this continent. Waging war was indeed not an easy matter; it drained the brain as well as coffers, supplies, and manpower.

But what Ye Jiu didn’t realize was that this was not the primary reason Sikong Mo refrained from starting a war. Just as Si Nan had thought, though Sikong Mo now held great power, his situation in Dongyue was not that favorable.

Nanchang was the country closest to Fengyang City. Once Nanchang was annihilated, correspondingly, Sikong Mo’s value to Dongyue would vanish.

Then, there would be no need to worry about Nanchang’s onslaught. Instead, he would have to fret over when the old Emperor might dispose of him.

If it had been earlier, any method would suffice, but now, he had to protect not only the honor of the War Prince Residence but also had his eyes on the Emperor’s own granddaughter, Ye Jiu. Not knowing Ye Jiu’s thoughts about the Emperor, he had to be wary in many matters.

After listening, Ye Jiu took out a box of treasures she had just acquired from the side and handed them to Sikong Mo, "This object is for Young Master Sikong. Consider it... a gift in return for buying so much grain from me!"

"What?" Sikong Mo was often puzzled by the strange objects Ye Jiu would bring out without explanation and truly didn’t know how to use them.

"This is called a telescope. I think it will be of great use to Young Master Sikong." The owner opened the box and took out a wrapped object to show Sikong Mo.

"Look, if you put this end against your eyes, you can see far, far away, and you can also adjust..." Saying so, Ye Jiu demonstrated for him.

After the demonstration, Ye Jiu took down the telescope and offered it to Sikong Mo, "Does Young Master Sikong want to try?"

"Alright." Sikong Mo received it and tried for himself the method Ye Jiu had demonstrated.

Immediately after, Sikong Mo was full of shock.

Although not engaging in combat, as Sikong Mo used the telescope, the items piled up in another corner seemed as though they were right in front of his eyes, indeed magnified many times over.

He could already imagine how using this device on the battlefield would be akin to divine aid for his side when surveying the enemy’s situation.

Perhaps it wasn’t much different from the legendary Clairvoyance.

"Jiujiu, thank you." That Ye Jiu was so considerate for his sake truly moved Sikong Mo.

Such a divine artifact must have not been easy for her to obtain in exchange, must it?
