In November in Ruiou City, the temperature is gradually rising, and life is still peaceful and calm.

A man in a floral shirt, tight shorts and flip-flops leisurely walks through the shopping street in the warm sunshine. The busty woman hurrying by on the street caught his eye and drew an admiring smile, but he couldn't stop his steps.

Near the corner, a crowd gathered there, and a fierce drum beat came from the crowd, apparently a street performer performing on the side of the road.

The man who walked by the periphery of the crowd was slightly stunned when he heard the sound of the drum, and naturally hummed a song to the sound of the drum.

When the song sounded, the body writhed unconsciously, the arms swayed like two snakes, twisting the waist, shaking the legs, stride, shaking the head, and every movement was dancing to the beat of the drum.

The flip-flop man's dance steps soon attracted the attention of the crowd of onlookers who beat the drum and the street performers, and everyone consciously made a way for the drummers to meet the dancers.

The drummer was a dark-skinned aboriginal who danced two drum sticks into the air, and when he saw Asamiko dancing strangely in front of him, he hurriedly lowered his head, but the drum sticks were struck faster.

The music was exciting, the dance steps were wonderful, and the onlookers were hooked, thinking that the two had arranged the money in advance, and asked the two to work together again.

The man in flip-flops and floral shirts, shrugged helplessly, squeezed out of the crowd, and disappeared into the street corner, leaving behind the unfinished crowd.

The drummer of the street performer silently watched the direction in which the man left.

That night, the drummer appeared outside the door of a Mithril shop named "Elsa and his daughter", knocked on the door, and then slipped through the slightly open door into the mausoleum

The man in the flip-flops and floral shirt hugged the drummer and said with a smile: "Galia, since I heard about the war in the north, I knew you were coming to me...... What's the plan? and my old brother ......."

The aboriginal man known as Galia found a single sofa in the store, sat down, and said with a smile: "Mr. Twenty-Three, to tell you the truth, I really don't want to see you again, if it weren't for Mr. Paul asking me to come ......"

"Alright, alright, don't complain, what does Paul have planned......" Twenty-three was anxious to get to the point, the man in front of him he hadn't seen in sixteen or seventeen years, he was Paul's servant when he was incognito in the New World, and he had been helping Paul with certain things. This time, Garya was sent by Paul to the city of Ryo, and he must have something important to tell him, and it may be time to take action again.

Garya didn't really want to come to Twenty-Three, the last time he was ordered to ask Twenty-Three to help, the hostess was seriously injured in that battle, and then she died of her injuries, and now she had to come and ask Twenty-Three for help.

......

This time, Ghalia set off from York Town in the north and took a month's boat ride to reach the city of Ryo.

It is strange that in this month, the war seems to have been frozen in a hurry, and nothing has changed.

A month ago, the army of the Kingdom of Light suddenly appeared on the east coast and surrounded the city of Tavaré, the capital of the Stuart colony, from both land and sea.

A month ago, the Duchy of Castile in the Southern Regions declared war on the Duchy of Stuart in the Western Regions, with 20,000 soldiers on the border between the two regions, and war seemed to break out at any time.

A month earlier, the Duchy of Stuart had declared an "extraordinary state" with the royal family, blocking roads and canals leading to the imperial capital.

Also a month ago, the royal family demanded that the Duchy of Stuart hand over the pirates who attacked the fleet of the Claudian envoys and sacked the city of Ilgar, or else they would be "punished".

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that what "froze" this chaotic war was the sudden attack of the Bright God Kingdom on the colonies of the Duchy of Stuart in the New World.

Otherwise, the Duchy of Stuart would have at least one war of the magnitude with either the royal family or the Duchy of Castia.

The reason why it was a large-scale war was because at the very beginning of the conflict, the Legion declared that it would remain neutral and not participate in the disputes between the parties

Although the three Grand Duchyes were able to deeply influence the legions stationed in their countries, control the appointment and dismissal of officers at all levels, and move troops past the commanders. However, legionnaires were not allowed to attack other legions, which was a rule set by Western Sahara the Great when he founded the legions, so in the civil wars between the major principalities, the legions would declare neutrality.

In the past, wars without the participation of legions were not large-scale, and some historians described them as large-scale armed battles.

It was a good thing for Galley that nothing had happened for a month, and he could pick up Mr. Twenty-Three and go calmly to join his master.

"Forget it, the details are on the way, give me a few minutes, and I'll go and say goodbye to my wife and daughter. "Twenty-three.

Garya hurriedly explained: "Mr. Twenty-Three, don't worry, we can set off tomorrow." ”

"Okay, then you can stay with me tonight. Twenty-three turned to the backyard of the shop and shouted, "Elsa...... Elsa ...... Please help me prepare the guest room. Did Maribel sleep?......"

Galia remembered the last time he came to invite Mr. Twenty-Three, who was in his twenties and had just become a grandmaster, and couldn't wait for his situation to be clear, so he pulled himself up and took off.

And this time, when he walked into the backyard of the store, Mr. Twenty-Three's back looked heavy and lonely.

Second, there was an additional handsome middle-aged gentleman, Mr. Twenty-Three, and his native servant, Galia, on the passenger ship to Castile proper. Upon arrival in Castile, they will change trains to the Northlands and meet up with their agreed people.

At the same time, Paul, who had agreed to meet Twenty-Three in the Northern Regions, had already arrived at the meeting place in advance.

Paul was accompanied by his apprentice, Sammy, a fire-type transcendent who had given up his dream of being a seafarer.

Sammy, who hurriedly jumped out of the steam car, walked through the garden of the courtyard and ran to Paul, who was sitting by the pond, "Master, Viscount Bernand has called back! Oh, I'll tear it down...... Sure enough, Jacques was not in Port Mousse, and Viscount Jacques and Fabian went with him...... Kingdom of Light!"

"Is it the kingdom of light?" Paul leaned back in his chair and muttered to himself, "This is trouble...... We need to find him as soon as possible!"

"Wait, master, the viscount still wants to contact Jacques, you can try to find a person named Marianne West in Port Moussey, she has a connection with Jacques......"

"Marianne......? Let's go, let's go to Port Mousse......"

We're leaving, we just arrived in Mion yesterday......

Displeased, Sammy smiled and said, "Okay, master, I'm going to get my luggage, but I haven't opened it yet...... You sit back and wait for me to get off, and I'll drive later. ”
