Teef, born into a family of fishermen in the town of Seka, owned a medium-sized fishing boat, which benefited from a growing trading economy, which brought a solid life to the ordinary fisherman's family.

Tefu's father had only one child, which led to the family spending most of the family's expenses on Teff, so that the fisherman's child received a good education from an early age.

When Tefu came of age, his father spent two gold coins in Crewe City to give him an errand: the Inspector of the City Guard Camp in Crewe...

It's a decent errand,

At least for the title of fisherman, the inspectors of the city defense battalion are more than ten times better.

Ten years later,

Young Teve matured, became the Inspector General of today, and married a down-and-out aristocratic lady to his wife, who was now Sir Tev-Chatter.

Tev's father also got rid of his status as a fisherman and bought a small villa in Crewe City, controlling the seafood in the morning market in the outer city.

...

Tef is smart, and his cleverness is a kind of wisdom rich in wisdom, not a little clever...

In the morning, he was the first to arrive at the scene of Count Rezerster's case, and when he looked at the body of Count Rezerster, he knew that this was an opportunity, an opportunity that accompanied danger.

Therefore, when the Governor of the City Guard, Sir Shazot, who arrived at the scene later, casually pushed the case to him, he did not refuse.

Even, before that, he had already erased some of the necessary clues ...

He's going to take the credit for this case to himself!

This case may be a burden for Sir Shazotte, because Sir Chazot has to think about the family behind him, but for Teve, it is an opportunity, an opportunity to enter the vision of the Kavarburg higher-ups.

Although this can be dangerous, Tef feels that it is worth the effort, and he is convinced that the greater the risk, the greater the reward, and besides, there is no room for him to refuse.

"Tread"

"Tread"

The solid stone floor of the castle rubbed against the boots with a peculiarly dull sound, echoing through the dark and cold walls around it.

For the first time, Tef was able to truly step inside the castle, a symbol of Crewe's supreme power, and the rotting and damp smell of the castle's dirt and stone reminded Tef that it was all too real.

"Tuk Tuk"

Tefu woke up from his ramblings as he stood still, and his eyelids lifted to see a large wooden door with steel rims...

Tef knew that the young ruler was in this room right now, and at the thought of this, he couldn't help but straighten up, wanting to put his best foot forward.

"Come in. A relatively young voice came from inside the room.

"Follow me. Cowlier still had that lofty expression, he hadn't looked at Teve from the start.

The room was much larger than Tefu had imagined, and the moment the door opened, countless pots of fire began to shake back and forth, and a huge map was first caught in Tefu's eyes in the shaking of the firelight.

Then, the young man languishing in his chair under the map became clearer and clearer in Teve's vision, and he subconsciously wanted to look closely, but he quickly realized something and lowered his head again.

"For the sake of the Goddess, we'll make a long story short because I need a good night's sleep. Pedi pointed to the two seats across from him and said, "Sit down, do you need a drink?"

"Coffee. Cowlier was unceremonious.

"No, sir. "Tef is a little reserved.

"Then don't bother the servant. Pedi ignored Collier, staring at Teve, then grabbing a general glance at the file in his hand, "Teve... Sir, tell me that you will have a result in the case of the Earl of Rezerster in a few days. ”

"Within two days..."Taifu spoke in a very small voice, and after Pedi showed an obviously surprised expression, he quickly explained: "Actually, this case is not difficult to investigate, from the analysis of traces at the scene, there are five assassins in each, three of them died on the spot in the middle of the period, and the escape routes of the other two are obvious..."

"Then what are you waiting for, arrest them immediately. Pedi interrupted Tef's explanation.

"Your Excellency. Tefu couldn't help but raise his voice, "The murderer didn't hide it at all... In other words, as long as this case is investigated a little carefully, it can be found out who did it. ”

"Oh?" Pedi couldn't help but sit up straight,

At this moment, he thought of the words of Baron Aemond, the treasurer of the castle at noon...

Baron Aemond actually suggested that Pedi use Fort Bien as a bargaining chip, and let the nobles recruit soldiers at their own expense to recover the lost territory in the northeast of Crewe!

Let's just say that it's a good piece of advice.

If it weren't for the assassination of Count Rezister, maybe Pedi would have nodded in agreement, but for now, he just responded that he would have considered.

And now, Sir Tiff told him that the Earl of Rezerster's case had been done by some people in a grand manner...

Well, that is, the assassins of the Borg father and son were not at all afraid of his investigation.

"Do you have a suspicion?" asked Pedi.

"Viscount Donwitt Degar and Baron Dalivan Gavey, these two are the most suspicious. "But I think the people involved in this case are more right, and they are all famous businessmen." ”

Pedy's heart jumped, but his face didn't change, and he looked at Tef...

Tefu lowered his head after speaking, he was so nervous at the moment, so nervous that his heartbeat was unconsciously accelerating... He has said what he needs to say, and all he can do next is wait.

Pedy's gaze quickly fell on Collier's again...

Cowlier just shrugged,

"I need to see the evidence, sir, and if you have enough evidence, I can let you arrest these people personally. Pedi stared at the huge military map, his tone resolute.

"I'll have the evidence by tomorrow night. Tef looked up at Pedy.

"Have a good night, then, sir. Pedi pointed to the door, "The castle guards will take you out." ”

He ordered the eviction.

A look of regret flashed in Teve's eyes, and he stood up and saluted, then turned to leave.

Cowlier, who had been silent, sat down in the seat where he had just sat after Tefu left, and said, "Sir Teve is not lying, those assassins are a group of novices, I swear to the goddess. ”

"But they still got it. Pedi leaned back on the arm of her chair.

"Yes, so the people of the city defense battalion are more stupid than the assassins. Cowlier chuckled, "I've been to the scene to see that Baron had no chance of surviving at all, but he did... Someone is testing your bottom line, my lord, the Borg family is not the only Earl of Rezerster father and son. ”

"Yes, they're forcing me to choose, and they're confident I'll choose them, because, if I want to use my troops against the orcs, I'll have to rely on their resources, and the Borgs... All I can say is that Count Rezerster is a worthy lord. Pedi shook her head slightly, "So, do you have any good advice?"

"I'm trying to say that if the nobles want Beenburg, then why don't they give it?" Cowrell shrugged.

Pedi raised an eyebrow, "I'll give it, but I hate it when people come to grab it." ”

"Then teach them a lesson. ”

"Of course, I will teach them a profound lesson. ”

Collier chuckled under his breath, then whispered, "The scene of the assassination of Count Rezerster was manipulated, and although it was done very secretly, it couldn't escape the eyes of an old magician... I suppose in Sir Ateve's eyes he must have found out, but he didn't say it, so why?"

Pedi stared at Cowlier, playing with the ruby ring on his left thumb, "What do you want to say?"

"Sir Tave is an ambitious man. ”

"Is there anything to do with this case?"

Cowlier shrugged, "I'm just telling you a fact, not discussing the case with you, sir. ”

"There's nothing wrong with being ambitious. Pedi smiled indifferently, "Maybe you should tell me about your ambitions." ”

"If I have the chance, I will. Collier stood up and saluted, then walked briskly out of the hall.

...

Early the next morning,

After completing his knightly training, Pedi enjoyed breakfast with his mother and sister, and it was the richest breakfast Pedi had in years, with desserts, milk, and fruit.

Phyllis seemed very happy, and sometimes even ran to Pedy to grab the dessert on his plate.

Saviara had no intention of educating her young daughter to be a lady, in the Duchess's own words: a magician does not need to be a lady.

Halfway through breakfast, Pedi suddenly asked, "Mom, I need two corps commanders, do you have any suggestions?"

"I'm going to have to think about it, I'm in a hurry? Saviara put down the spoon and motioned for the servant to take her plate.

"It's better not to be too long, I need them to do something for me. ”

"Can I?" said Phyllis, looking at Pedi with wide eyes.

"Does Phyllis want to lead her troops into battle too?" Saviala couldn't help but stroke Phyllis's hair.

"Can't you?"

The Duchess smiled, "Yes, but first you have to be an adult." ”

"But I heard that the Emperor was already the commander of the First Legion of the Empire when he was twelve years old. ”

"Hey, Phyllis, how is your magic lab going?"

"But I don't have any money, so I need to find a job for myself, and I've heard that the salary of the corps commander is quite high. "Phyllis wasn't fooled at all.

"I can fund you. The Duchess smiled lovingly.

"Really?" Phyllis couldn't wait, "So what are you waiting for, let's go pick a room now." ”

Lady Saviara wiped her mouth gracefully, and really followed Phyllis, and when she reached the door of the dining-room, she suddenly turned back to Pedi and said, "I'll give you the answer tomorrow morning." ”

"Thank you so much, Mom. Pedi smiled in response, but her mother had already left.

The originally noisy restaurant suddenly became much more deserted.

As Pedi prepares to leave the dining room, his personal military advisor, Hades, suddenly walks in.

"The messenger of Viscount Bieber-Donna of Harrensburg begs to see you!" said Hades, standing at the door.
