Chapter 421: Worrying Things
It was just before midnight that Glori found Lord Xavier. Lord Xavier, on the other hand, has been busy with the defense of Honor City.
One of the retinues following Lord Xavier was not wearing a sword, but was wearing armor. Whenever Glori tried to talk to Lord Xavier, he took the initiative to stop Glori from approaching. Even if he said hello, he wouldn't let Glori say it.
Faced with the hindrance of his entourage, Glori didn't know why Lord Xavier didn't say a word. And Glori, after being stopped by his entourage repeatedly, was a little anxious.
Yes, Glori is already an earl, and of course he has a lot of power. Glori, you can just let the entourage stand aside and cool off.
However, Glori has not forgotten what it means to be an earl, nor what he is doing it for. So, just do what you normally do. Choosing to wait in peace, Glori sat down on the wooden chair in accordance with the invitation of his entourage.
Wooden chairs are the kind of furniture that can be found in ordinary people's homes with paint off, without ornate carvings or inlaid with precious stones. The rest of the room is the same plain furniture that goes with the wooden chairs. Obviously, Lord Xavier, as an assistant minister, still cherishes the kingdom and does not dare to enjoy it.
Just as Glori was about to fall into a reverie, Lord Xavier was willing to glance at Glori. And the documents that had been stacked on top of each other were pushed aside by Lord Xavier.
Lord Xavier, then accosted: "It turned out to be Glori, I thought that some nobleman who had forgotten who he was was embarrassing my retinue. β
"No, I'm not one of those nobles, I'm just a commoner with the title of earl. If someone wants to tell you that I forgot who I am, please help me warn them. β
Glori didn't take it seriously.
If only the visit to Lord Xavier had been a verbal altercation, but Glori knew the gravity of the matter. Glori, too, isn't going to talk about Lord Xavier's test.
"Lord Xavier, I just returned from Silver's quarters. As you mean, I've got a showdown with Silver. At this point, Silver agreed to the alliance. However, I don't know how long our alliance will last. β
With that, Glori took out the package.
At first, the attendant was also going to inspect Glori's package. However, Glori's discussion with Lord Xavier has never been suspected. So, Glori instinctively froze for a moment when his entourage was about to take a hand.
Lord Xavier, of course, knew that the retinue was new, not the shy Krel. There are some rules that must be taught to newcomers in person.
Knocking on the long table, Xavier pointed to the wooden battle again: "My loyal servant, I must change places." And, one thing you have to keep in mind is that blue stars aren't the ones who have their eyes on gold when they see wealth. In short, you can't keep the people I'm pushing out there. β
When the attendant removed his hand to reach for the package, Glori walked over to the round table where Master Xavier wanted to sit. It's just that the room is dark, and Glori lights another oil lamp as well. To Glori's disbelief, a chance thing happened.
A figure flickered across the glass window, covered with damp light parchment rolls.
Glori, instead of looking at the window, complied with Lord Xavier's wishesβsat down and talked about the package.
The scroll in the package had been taken out by Lord Xavier and roughly flipped through it. And Lord Xavier just shook his head.
"Glori, we're going to have to burn these things. Things have been going on for a long time. If someone comes up with these things, they must want to make a mess in the City of Honor. The City of Honor is a place with a special geographical location. To the northwest is the Knight Castle, the capital of the former Norton Kingdom, and to the southeast is the Mochizuki Plains, which was once the Luna Kingdom. Although the knightly city was governed by Gabriel, those nobles ...... As for Silver, who is supposed to be the king of the moon god...... Oh, we've got Wofver to the south. β
"Yes, he's still holding on to the City of Miracles. And His Highness Ruth can only be careful about what is behind the scenes when facing the Northern Empire Legion. β
Supplementing Lord Xavier's words, Glori understood what Silver was going to do because of Lord Xavier's introduction.
If, as usual, Silver wanted to pave the way for the rebuilding of the Luna Kingdom, Silver had already taken the Moon Plains, and the Emerald City was the other place that Silver wanted most. In order to take the Emerald City, Silver has been fighting for several years.
Until now, Silver could only stalemate with the Imperial Legions guarding the Emerald City. And the Emerald City, which was baptized by the fires of war, was in a situation where the city walls were constantly repaired. I'm afraid it's only a matter of time before we take the Emerald City.
As for now, Silver is probably thinking about the hatred of the past, not just wanting the rebuilding of the Luna Kingdom. After all, the depth of Silver's hatred is what made Silver what he is today. If hatred is forgotten, then Silver is not the current Silver but a different person.
In any case, there should be a way to deal with Silver.
"So, Lord Xavier, do you have anything to say?"
"Say, not for the time being. You see, I've been busy dealing with the Imperial Legion. I'm afraid that in two days, we will have another war. And you, too, don't have much time to rest. I think you might as well go and talk to His Highness Ruth. Hopefully, she'll give you peace of mind and focus on the fortifications of Honor City. β
Lord Xavier's words were spoken. Ambiguous 43
Glori, I didn't hear Lord Xavier's advice. As if, Lord Xavier didn't want to talk about Silver. It was as if Lord Xavier was physically and mentally exhausted from being busy late into the night. And Glori, too, had to get up to say goodbye.
So, who should dispose of the contents of the package?
While packing the package, Glori paused. Lord Xavier, on the other hand, shrugged his shoulders and demanded that Glori finish the matter.
"yes, you've got to get these scrolls right, it's not like a problem to throw them on the table. It's just that you don't have to take them away, I'll take them personally. β
Lord Xavier, this time I'm telling Glori. Glori, on the other hand, is not sure. Especially, when Glori saw Xavier's perfunctory face.
Frowning, not very reassured, Glori didn't dare to trespass, so he had to knot the packed package. Gently placed it in front of Lord Xavier's eyes, and Glori was about to turn around.
"My lord, I wish you a good dream. β
Glori never said anything polite, especially when saying goodbye to someone. However, thinking about Lord Xavier's performance and not forgetting the figure outside the window, Glori accidentally spoke.
At this point, Lord Xavier smiled and nodded, and picked up the package.
As he walked towards the door, Glori caught a glimpse of Lord Xavier. Lord Xavier had walked over to the fireplace with the package in his hand.
At first, Glori just shrugged his shoulders.
Later, as his right foot stepped out of the doorway, Glori glanced at Lord Xavier again. Just as the package was about to catch fire, Lord Xavier placed it on top of the fireplace. And that flame was thrown into the air as if it was played.
Lord Xavier, what do you want to do?
Glori, didn't dare to turn back.
Just assume that you don't see anything. What can you do, Lord Xavier? He's a man who can't be questioned. Unable to suspect Lord Xavier, Glori forcibly suppressed the questions that wanted to pop up in his heart.
Lord Xavier, but the one who sows the light!
Leaving Lord Xavier's room, Glori walked down the street. However, that uneasiness caused Glori to glance back at Lord Xavier's residence. Lord Xavier lives in a two-story building. Moreover, there is still a family of civilians living on the first floor.
Whether it is the orientation of the house or the appearance of the house, it is worrying. Looking at the cracks in the side walls, Glori saw a figure jump from the second floor of the house into the narrow passage.
"Stop!"
Glori, still shouted.
However, the man leaning out of the window was also noticed by Lord Xavier. At the time, Lord Xavier told Glori to leave it alone. So, now the man jumped off the ledge and got the news he wanted.
Thinking of this, Glori was suddenly stunned, and watched the figure running in the narrow passage fade away. It was only a moment before Glori had to catch up again.
No, the news that the man heard was about scrolls!
Glori, who was already exhausted and drowsy, seemed to be enlightened, and he stepped forward. The debris in the narrow passage was jumped sideways because Glori stepped on the wall.
Glori regretted it a little. If you hadn't taken the package out, there wouldn't have been any trouble. However, Glori never expected that it was not only Silver who wanted to talk about the scroll, but even Lord Xavier wanted to talk about the scroll.
Hurriedly chasing, of course Glori will not let the people in front escape.
No magic is needed at all, just running through one narrow lane after another. And the underground passage of Honor City has been thoroughly inspected by Glori a long time ago. Anyway, to escape from Glori's presence, the person who eavesdropped on the secret would have to endure hitting the wall.
Now that he knew where the other party's path led, Glori took a shortcut. When Glori stopped, the eavesdropper literally hit the wall.
Glori suddenly put his right hand on his shoulder, startling the eavesdropper. Glori's right foot, which he sent forward, kicked directly into the popliteal fossa of the eavesdropper's right leg. The eavesdropper will also kneel directly on one knee.
At this point, Glori looked at the eavesdropper. The eavesdropper, dressed in a brown linen shirt and covering his face with a sackcloth. When Glori lifted the numbness, he was so surprised that he couldn't speak.
