On March 29, the police station welcomed a city official, dressed in a formal suit and carrying a black briefcase, as if there was something important to announce. And this man came here with only one mission in mind, and that was Cellast.

"Your Excellency the Duke has read your letter of request, and has granted your request, Mr. Cellast. Although he was only a messenger, his tone was very arrogant, and he looked like no one in his eyes. However, it is not surprising that Celeste looks like this, after all, in the heyday of the Zagoro family, the former butler also had such an attitude, and he himself had such an attitude.

"Excuse me, when will I see Duke Krims?" said Serast with humility, after all, he had a request for others. "Come with me, I'll take you to Dungerburg, and as for the meeting time, I'll arrange it for you. With that, the man went out, and Serast followed him out to the distant Duke's palace of Krims, Fort Dunkel, and they had traveled for two days alone.

Dunger Castle, with a sitting area of 2.2 million square meters, is one of the few buildings in the Kramer Empire with a ground area of more than 2 million, even the original Zagolo Castle, which is only 1.4 million square meters, not counting the upper floors and heights.

Although Dungel Fort has a 'fort' in its name, it is different from other magnificent castles, its architectural shape is not castle-shaped, but ordinary apartment-like, but its complex is very large, in addition to the main and auxiliary apartment buildings, there are three small buildings, and a large playground.

Duke Krems and his parents, wife and children live in the main apartment building, while the annex apartment building houses the servants' rooms and miscellaneous rooms such as kitchens and storage rooms. The three small buildings are part of the personnel of the private army of Krims, there are 200 people, but these 200 people naturally cannot be ordinary soldiers, they are all carefully selected people, and they are all elites with one enemy and ten.

"Wait here, I'll go and inform the Duke, and before the Duke meets you, you will stay in the second building, and the people there have told you in advance, and they will arrange an empty room for you. By the way, my name is Ryaz and I'm the steward of Fort Dungel. With that, Ryaz walked into Building 1 (the main villa) and Seras went to Building 2 (the secondary villa), where he needed to put his luggage away first.

By the time he went to the room where he had been arranged, it was already 5:35 p.m. Twenty minutes later, a servant knocked on the door of Cellast's room, "Mr. Celeste, please come to the first floor and dine with us." Serlast got up and went downstairs and had dinner with the servant, although the servant's dinner was relatively inferior, but for Cellast, it made him feel kind, and reminded him of the time when the five young masters and the old lady were still together.

After dinner, Serast returned to his room, and at 7:50 p.m., Ryaz finally knocked on the door and informed Serlast: "Your Excellency the Duke has arranged for you to meet him tomorrow at 10:20 a.m., in Room 303, on the third floor of Building One." "Understood, thank you, butler. ”

Although the meeting was scheduled for the next day, Celeste was still very nervous at the moment. It wasn't that he was nervous that he was going to see a duke to-morrow, but because of the circumstances of life here, which touched him deeply, and he wanted to go back to the past, even if he was only a subordinate, but it was his best memory.

The next day soon came, and Celeste gathered his emotions and went to the meeting place, and after pushing the door open, Celeste finally met the noble Duke of Krimus. "You are loyal and courageous, Serast, and dare to take such a big bet just to meet me. I'm finally understanding why the Zagoro family is so strong, and why they were framed. ”

Although Krims was a duke, he did not wear a magnificent outfit, but simply dressed up, and his tone of voice was not very arrogant, but very appropriate. But Serast did not exalt his identity because of such a false appearance, and he still said very humbly: "Your Excellency the Duke has praised it falsely. I'm just doing what I'm told. ”

"Here, there are no enemies, only friends, Serlast. I'm not like any other duke who pays so much attention to those etiquettes that have long since become obsolete. Although Krims was born in the military, he could also see that Celeste cared about his identity very much, so he directly sent a message to Celeste to relax first, and then continued, "How is Anna?"

"Are you talking about the old lady? They are all fine, although they are now on the run, the old man will still give the best to the lady. Celeste wondered why Krims knew the name, but he answered him truthfully because in Celeste's eyes, Rims seemed to be a person he could trust.

"Poor Anna, married to a good and upright man, was envied and displaced. Do you know, Serlast, the lady I speak of to you has known and raised since childhood. "I don't really know that. Because I grew up with Lord Ron, I only knew that Lady Anna came in later. "No wonder. She used to be my best friend, and she has always been a beautiful embryo since she was a child. Oh, don't get me wrong, I'm not jealous that Ron married Anna, it's just because I know Anna so well that I've always treated her like my sister. Back then, when I had just been promoted to Earl, Anna accompanied me to the Imperial Capital to receive the ceremony, and I happened to meet your Lord Ron. ”

"I remember, it was—" "Yes, it was Ron's father who accompanied you at that time. Because I was promoted at the same time, I first met Ron, and I didn't care so much at first, but Anna seemed to care about Ron, and I was always wary of Ron, for fear that he was not a good person. However, through long contact and conversation, I found that Ron was much better than I expected, and I don't know when Anna and Ron got along. ”

"When I was first promoted to earl, I needed to conduct an expedition in the capital for a while, and it was after that period of investigation that Lord Ron returned with Lady Anna. "To be honest, I'm happy for Anna, after all, of all the earls and barons of the same period, Ron is the best. Of course, except for me, hahahaha......"

Crims's sudden boasting and laughter surprised Celeste, who had never seen a duke with such a side. And then, Krims suddenly said: "So, I will help you unconditionally." As for the conditions of the initiative you proposed, let it go with the wind. ”

This time, it was even more unexpected for Celeste, he thought about it for a long time, pondered for a long time, and came up with countless plans to reach a deal under the condition of protecting the family, which was subverted in an instant. "I... I heard you right, do you really want to..."I don't know why you have this contract, and I don't know if the gossip on the market is right or wrong. But I know that since Ron will hand over this contract to you, it means that all my guesses are correct, some people want to seize Ron's rights and reputation in the country, and some people are trying to seek power and usurp the throne! Since he dares to give up such an important property, he must trust you, and I believe that you can come up with a way to stop this earth-shattering conspiracy!"

"I don't have a direct solution, but I have companions I can trust. Only by uniting can we stop this silent bloody storm. "The flashpoint was the frame-up, and the turning point was in the city of Rosafern, a series of actions against the five eldest sons of the Zagoro family. If the five eldest sons are captured because of some specified conditions, then Ron must risk his life to save his own children, and then it will be all over. "Vicanlo, who has arrived in that city, and although he has been captured, he still has an accomplice, and an unknown number of magical weapons. "Looks like that's what you're here for. ”

With that, Krims walked to the table, opened the drawer, took out a crystal, and then said: "This is a resonance crystal, which is a rare mineral, and the cheapest price on the market has reached 1.8 million." The swordsman in my private army told me that while the Resonance Crystal may seem mundane, it can become very dangerous when it comes to magic. One gram of resonance crystals can create 800 grams of magic bombs. "So, Vicanlo, they must have gotten a Resonance Crystal to create those powerful magic bombs. ”

"That's right, although a magic bomb is only less than 200 grams, but the power is absolutely extraordinary, a regular resonance crystal is at least 80 grams, mine is the one that was bought in bulk through the permission of Congress, and the price of this one alone is 8 million. "Then you know how to defend against magic bombs made with resonance crystals?"

"Of course, my magic swordsman, and the soldiers in the courtyard, are now equipped with anti-magic shields. But those are all enchanted by magic swordsmen, and it takes people who have learned magic to do it, and they require a lot of materials, even I can't collect enough materials. The other is the inferior magic shield, which is only useful when it is active, and if it is against a magic bomb, it can only resist one attack. "And what does this entail?"

"It doesn't need much, it doesn't need any special materials, just an ordinary shield, and it just needs electricity. Speaking of which, you should understand how it works, this is a sample of the drawing, take it, and you can go back. Krims picked up a rolled-up drawing from the table and handed it to Cellast, who didn't know what to say but nodded and signaled that he would use it kindly.

Afterwards, Serast returned to his room, packed his bags, and prepared to leave for the city of Rosafern.

"Old friend Ron, your fate and mine are intertwined. Hopefully, your children, can open a clear path for us. ”
