Chapter Eighty-Three: Enemies of Nature

(Thank you for the monthly ticket support of 2018***772!thank you brother!)

It later turned out that the businessman's gossip was not wrong.

Charlotte ordered someone to find the intelligence agency stationed at Icewind Castle in Ullapool, and the latter's answer was broadly consistent with that of the merchant. In addition to this, there is more specific information and reasoning.

"The subordinates deduced that the assassin was from Hossente. Local intelligence officers made inferences. In terms of intelligence capabilities alone, Icewind Castle is at least a notch worse than Herrosa, but it is still trustworthy in terms of the reliability of information.

"What the hell is going on?" Charlotte was furious, "the lord of a country could be assassinated?"

"It's hunting. The intelligence officer replied, "Archduke Brent chased an elk into the jungle alone during his autumn hunt, and was ambushed by the Assassins who had been lurking for a long time. Although the guards arrived quickly, he was also mortally wounded, and now he relied on spells to hang his breath. ”

Charlotte immediately guessed, "There's something wrong with that elk?"

"Hmm. Archduke Brent's mage advisors found remnants of magical energy in the carcass of an elk. ”

Charlotte was angry and sad, "This guy is too imprudent!"

Brent is not like Charlotte, his personal strength is only four rings, and that's not counting his sneaky fighting style. But like Charlotte, he has a restless adventurous spirit in his bones, and it is normal for him to make the move of leaving behind his guards to chase his prey during autumn hunting.

Eventually, the intelligence agent told Charlotte that Archduke Brent had sent a letter to Icewind Castle, asking Charlotte to go to Lotte for a briefing.

It makes sense that Charlotte has to go through this experience.

They advanced from the Anubi River, the largest river in the Empire, aboard the Secret Rite, landed at the Central River Harbor, and then turned northwest towards Lotsente. After entering the Duchy of Love, Charlotte noticed that the locals were not affected by the incident, and when asked, she learned that the news had been tightly sealed, and the people of Lovente privately believed that the assassination of the Grand Duke was complete nonsense.

Over the years, under the leadership of Brent, Rosente embarked on the road of rise, not only winning successive victories in foreign wars and recovering the lost territory of his homeland, but also counterattacking Hocente and seizing a large area of land northwest Hocent.

In addition, in domestic affairs, Brent lowered tariffs, invoked commercial capital, and increased centralization, which brought Rosente back to life in a short period of time.

Today's Locente is not as economically vibrant as it was before the war, but the country is thriving with construction projects everywhere. In just over two years, Rosente, who has only one county left, has developed to the point where it is now, and Brent's ability can be seen.

The outside world commented that in addition to being inferior to Lawrence, the former northern lion in terms of personal strength, Brent's military and political ability is really not inferior to Lawrence. Today's evaluation is even higher than that of the famous three brothers and sisters in the Northland.

Today, the empire calls it the Eagle of the West, and some praise him as the wise king of Locente, one of the representatives of the last generation of the Fourth Age.

But it was this wise king, who was supported by all the people, who was assassinated and on the verge of death because of his carelessness. If the news comes out, I don't know how much of a storm it will set off in Rosent.

In fact, such news has been circulating everywhere for a long time, but it is said that a few days ago, "Brent" personally attended a ceremony, and the scattered rumors were barely suppressed.

Charlotte was in a heavy mood during the journey, and it is said that Brent already had a son, who is still an infant toddler. If Brent really can't hold on, who should inherit the throne of Losente?

Nephews are naturally the most suitable candidates in terms of law and blood, but having a young child inherit the throne is really not a good idea to look forward to in this world of great contention. In addition, in the Leslie family, which was almost slaughtered, only Nell, who was an illegitimate child, was the right person.

But the identity of Nell's illegitimate son is too embarrassing, and let him succeed to the throne, and if it is not handled well, it may be a copy of Erosa.

Charlotte would think about Lotsunte's way out, and then she would reminisce about her childhood. I think of the close companions in those years, Cecilia died in fragrance, Brent was on the verge of death, Evan and Edie ran away, Cynthia was widowed, and Claire went far to the far north, and only he and Fevien Leigh were left in the entire north. Thinking of all the happy times in the past, and comparing it with the desolation of the present, he couldn't help but feel sad with his old wood-like heart that had gradually become dry and hard.

They traveled all the way northwest along the official road, eating and sleeping in the wind and rain, and hurrying in the starry night, and finally arrived at the outskirts of the new royal capital of Losente four days later. The new royal capital was named Leslie City, which was a comprehensive city named after the family.

From a distance, Leslie City is far from grand, but the outer city is still in full swing and is in a state of positive prosperity.

Approaching Leslie City, Vivien also looked uneasy, obviously, Bingxue was smart, she also guessed the embarrassing situation of Nell now, and the girl who was secretly in love was frightened by this, and wanted to ask Charlotte to take Nell away several times, but she kept silent considering the man's self-esteem.

At this time, Lolita and Elle, who were the only ones unaffected, noticed something strange and waved their arms and shouted at the front of the group.

Charlotte had woken up from her grief, and now she had remained moody for the most part. He followed the sound and looked ahead, only to see a group of people a few hundred meters away towards Leslie City.

The overall color of the team was green, and the mounts were rare pure white horses, and the knights were mostly slender and slender, very different from the image of the Imperial knights.

That's a bunch of forest elves!

Thinking of Elle and Lolita's excitement, Charlotte's heart jumped and she subconsciously looked at the front of the elf team. There, a female knight on a Pegasus rode into the air, wearing a wreath crown, a green dress, a longbow on her back, and two odd-shaped scimitars pinned to her waist. The corners of the upper lip of the beautiful face are slightly upturned, and she is as beautiful and pure as an angel against the background of the pure white horse.

But Charlotte, who knows her inside, knows that this guy is definitely not as innocent as he seems.

Pegasi land in front of Charlotte's team and meekly tap-toe and jog towards Charlotte. Elle and Lolita, who were put together, pouted and shouted and chased after them from behind, and Charlotte looked at the man with a smile on her face.

The same smile appeared on the elven girl's face, and when she was about ten paces away, the elven girl's smile changed, and she took out the legendary longbow called the Elven Word from her back, and her beautiful face carried a murderous intent.

"The heinous enemy of nature, the blood debt you have committed in the northern ice fields is well known. How dare you, evil mage, appear in front of this princess!?"

She is Charlotte's life-and-death companion, the star princess Devany Ophelia!

The bloodline god of the main god of the elves, Yvette Ophelia, the personal disciple of Ophelia, and one of the most famous Bai Fumei in the multiverse.

This comrade-in-arms, who had not seen her for several years, would draw a bow to herself when they met, which really surprised Charlotte.

But his surprise quickly faded.

Time has changed, and considering the positions of both sides, he understands that his comrades-in-arms, who once shared life and death, have inevitably stood on his opposite.
