Chapter 817: Grand Duke of Dragon Eagle
Xiang Yun immediately went back to Baishi Town to find Yu Zixuan and Duguyue, and at the same time told the two of them the results of his investigation.
Yu Zixuan and Duguyue both looked shocked.
Neither of them expected such an outcome.
First of all, Yu Zixuan believed in Xiang Yun's judgment, was full of trust in Xiang Yun's ability, and subconsciously thought that Xiang Yun would not make mistakes.
Secondly, from the analysis of the current situation, Viscount Brandon Baishi is just a very ordinary one of the hundreds of fiefdom nobles in the eastern part of the empire, his status is not low or low, and his territory is not good or bad.
Arguably.
This is a very ordinary hereditary viscount.
Viscount Brandon Whitestone has been involved in this plan.
I'm afraid there are many similar situations in the empire and even in the alliance.
Xiang Yun said: "The Shadow Sect may have been preparing this plan decades ago, and it is difficult for me to judge how wide the scope of the impact is, once the incident happens, it is unimaginable, even if the conspiracy is known now, I think it is very difficult to destroy it." ”
"The Shadow Sect is destroying the foundations of the Western world little by little, and now that we have discovered it, quite a lot of the roots have rotted out. Yu Zixuan's expression was solemn and serious, "Even if we expose the matter now, for the empire and even the alliance, it will inevitably cause a period of turmoil, and even a great loss of vitality." ”
It's like some fatal disease.
If the disease can be prevented before it happens, or if the disease is not too severe, then it can be completely controlled and the threat can be stifled in the cradle.
But when the disease spreads, it has eroded the internal organs, and even threatens life, and it is not so easy to treat it.
The cut of the cut.
The break of the break.
In the end, even if the disease is cured, it will inevitably be greatly damaged.
Xiang Yun said: "No matter what, I have discovered the conspiracy of the Shadow Sect, so we can't turn a blind eye to this matter, we must find a way to sabotage the Shadow Sect's plan." ”
No one else could believe it.
Because the involvement is too deep.
No one knows how powerful the Shadow Cult is at the moment.
Xiang Yun's suggestion was: "Let's go to the Duke of Dongjing's castle and tell the Duke of Dongjing about this matter directly." ”
The Duke of Dongjing is Yu Zixuan's grandfather.
He is also one of the four imperial archdukes who hold real power in the empire.
The Duke of the East has enough prestige and ability to deal with this matter, and compared to other nobles who don't know the details, the Duke of the East is also a trustworthy existence.
Yu Zixuan asked, "Let's go directly?" But you locked up Lady Veblen, if you leave Baishi Town for a long time, there is a chance that the Shadow Sect will be aware of it." ”
Xiang Yun said: "Don't worry, as Mrs. Vebrun, I will announce that my cultivation has reached a critical period, and I have decided to retreat for three days to dedicate meditation and cultivation, if we use the space slate, three or four days will be more than enough." ”
Lady Veblen is an arcane mage with six veins.
According to the level division on the empire's side, it is a dark magician with level 6 strength, and a person with this strength can be regarded as a master with good strength wherever he is placed, and it is not surprising that he often retreats for three or five days, and it will not arouse anyone's suspicion.
Three or five days is not a long time.
It's too late to take the fastest magic guide airship.
However, Xiang Yun has a spatial slate, and he can activate the spatial slate teleportation ability, which can save a lot of time and pass the news to the upper echelons of the empire before the shadow organization is alert.
That's it!
Xiang Yun didn't say a word and immediately started to act.
He first arranged the castle side*.
Then he immediately left the viscount with the second daughter, found a safe place, and began to activate the spatial slate, and it only took ten or twenty minutes to successfully break away from the Black Forest Province.
In the eastern part of the empire there is a place called the Dragon Eagle Province.
The Dragon Eagle Province is the largest province in the eastern part of the empire, and it is also the province directly ruled by the Duke of Ferdinand, and it is precisely because the Ferdinand family has managed the Dragon Eagle Province for generations, so this family is also called the Dragon Eagle Family.
The Dragon Eagle family is a powerful warrior from top to bottom.
This is a thousand-year-old family and one of the most glorious surnames in the Empire!
The current head of the house, Grand Duke Nathaniel, is already a ninety-one-year-old figure.
But no one dared to underestimate him.
Nathaniel Ferdinand is known as one of the most powerful Celestial Knight of the Arcane Empire, and has cultivated his dragon fighting spirit to the state of perfection, once single-handedly slaughtered a mad level 9 demon dragon thirty years ago, and was unharmed.
As the Guardian of the Empire's East.
No one dared to question the strength of the Grand Duke of Nathaniel.
Although Grand Duke Nathaniel has hardly personally taken action in the past 20 years, as an immortal existence, as long as it is not affected by external factors and declines or decreases in advance, otherwise the natural lifespan of the Grand Duke is enough to reach nearly 300 years.
Ninety-one is an advanced age for ordinary people.
For Nathaniel, he was only in his thirties, early forties, and this age was at the peak of his life, with him guarding the eastern border of the empire, and the young people were all dormant and did not dare to be arrogant.
Nathaniel is now wielding a golden giant sword that is bigger than a human in the magnificent castle of Duke Longying, practicing a set of knightly swordsmanship of his own creation.
The sword wind gusted.
Shrouded in all directions.
Just by looking at it, you can feel its power.
It was at this time.
A knight in gold armor stepped forward.
This knight's aura is powerful, his body is shrouded in fighting energy fluctuations, and there is a dragon eagle symbol on his armor, and he is a powerful member of the Dragon Eagle Knights!
The Dragon Eagle Knights are a knight order created by Grand Duke Nathaniel decades ago, and the adult men of the Dragon Eagle family are required to enter the knights for training.
In addition, the Dragon Eagle Knights will continue to absorb elites and masters from the army and the people, and now the number has reached more than 10,000.
Don't look at the small number of people.
10,000 people are one in a hundred.
There is hardly a Dragon Eagle Knight whose strength is lower than that of the leyline cultivation.
This army is comparable to the blood-clothed army under the command of the Bloody Marquis of Western Chu in the past, and if it is placed on the battlefield, it can fight against ten times the number of regular army troops.
"Ryan, what's the matter?"
Grand Duke Nathaniel turned around, his figure was very majestic, his muscles were high and bulging, his golden hair was draped over his shoulders, his rough beard was also golden*, and his face was masculine but not rude, revealing a kind of royal majesty.
This dragon eagle knight named Ryan is not simple.
He was one of the most favored knights of the Grand Duke of Nathaniel.
Ten years ago, during a turmoil in the East, the Knight of Lane fought to the death, almost died with the enemy, and finally completed the task assigned by the Grand Duke of Nathaniel, perfectly fulfilling the chivalry and knightly oath.
That time.
Knight Ryan was supposed to die.
Fortunately, thanks to the intervention of a well-known pharmacist in the Empire, he snatched Ryan's life back from the hands of Hades, and after about three years of recuperation, he returned to the Dragon Eagle Knights to continue to serve the Grand Duke.
Seven years have passed.
Knight Lane has always been dedicated to his duties.
At the age of less than fifty, he was appointed as one of the five captains of the Dragon's Order, and now he is one of the most trusted subordinates of the Grand Duke of Nathaniel.
Ryan performs a textbook meticulous chivalry of chivalry.
He said in a sonorous and powerful tone: "Lord Duke, there are several people outside, one of whom claims to be the heir of the eldest prince and a descendant of the Ferdinand family. ”
"Descendants of the Ferdinand family?"
Grand Duke Nathaniel's brow furrowed at once.
The Dragon Eagle family has been passed down for nearly a thousand years, and now it is prosperous again after several ups and downs, and there are many descendants of the family, but the other party claims to be his own heir, which is too unreliable.
It's really a major member of the family.
It is impossible for the Dragon Eagle Knight not to recognize it.
Just let it go, so why bother to report.
Grand Duke Nathaniel was suspicious: "My heirs, why don't I remember that I have children left in the Dragon Eagle Province, what do they look like?"
The Grand Duke had four sons and one daughter.
The three sons all held important positions in the empire, and the grandchildren were all studying at the Imperial Capital Knight Academy, or serving in the army, and there was no reason to leave.
In other words, his direct descendants.
It is impossible to come back at this time.
As for the daughter?
Because of an accident a few years ago, he unfortunately passed away.
Thinking of this, Nathaniel suddenly remembered another person.
I also have a granddaughter in Huaxia, although I have met very few times, but Naseniel loves her granddaughter very much and often misses it.
Because it's a granddaughter's relationship.
When the Grand Duke of Nathaniel faced her, he changed his harshness towards his other sons and grandchildren, and gave this granddaughter double his affection.
After all.
She is the child of her only daughter.
Among the children of the Grand Duke Nathaniel, the one he loved the most was his daughter.
Since the tragic death of the only youngest daughter, the only person who can express her emotions is this granddaughter.
I don't know if she lives well in China.
"From the outside, they all seem to be Chinese, and one of them calls himself ...... Yu Zixuan!" Ryan was obviously a little unaccustomed to the pronunciation of Chinese names, "Claiming to be the granddaughter of Lord Duke!"
"What? Zixuan! Zixuan, how did she come here!"
Duke Longying's impatient face suddenly changed greatly, this is really too coincidental, he just missed his granddaughter, and this granddaughter came to the door?
Troops!
It's impossible!
Western Chu in China is millions of miles away from the empire.
Zixuan is also the heir in the Huaxia family.
How could such an important person come so far?
Duke Longying didn't care so much, so he went out to see what the situation was first, so he hurried directly to the castle, and sure enough, he saw three Chinese people.
One of them is a slightly mixed race.
There are three points similar to his daughter's appearance.
Isn't this his granddaughter Yu Zixuan?
Although I haven't seen each other for many years, there is a certain blood connection that makes Nathaniel judge at a glance that this person is definitely Yu Zixuan, and she can't be pretending.
"Grandpa!"
Even if it is Yu Zixuan, a strong woman who is usually stable and mature.
At this moment, when facing my grandfather, who had not seen each other for at least ten years and could only occasionally exchange letters remotely, his eyes couldn't help but be a little red, and he took the initiative to go up and have a Western hug with the old duke.
"It's really you, it's such a surprise to me, I remember when you were so tall......"
Nathaniel gestured with his hand.
He looked carefully at his longing granddaughter.
"Not only have you grown taller now, but you've also become more beautiful, Xiuwei...... Your cultivation has reached the Heavenly Vein?" Archduke Nathaniel seemed to notice something, and was immediately overjoyed, "Okay! Great! She is really my granddaughter, much better than my unfinished rabbits!"
Grand Duke Nathaniel is no ordinary person after all.
He quickly calmed down from his surprise: "But then again, why did you suddenly run to grandpa?"
Between words.
His gaze swept over Xiang Yun and Dugu Yue.
Neither of these people is an idle person!
Especially Duguyue, when Nathaniel saw Duguyue, Rao is also felt a little incomprehensible, the other party's strength is by no means as simple as Ning Yuan Realm, it is very likely that he is an immortal powerhouse whose strength can compete with his own!
There are not many immortal powerhouses in the entire empire.
How could a granddaughter be surrounded by such a multiple-fold existence?
Although I knew that Huaxia's strength was very strong, there would not be so many powerhouses in the Immortal Realm that they would overflow, right? These two people didn't know what their relationship was with Yu Zixuan!
Yu Zixuan took the initiative to introduce: "This is my best friend Xiang Yun, although he was born in a poor family, but by his own efforts, he has now become a scholar of Huaxia University, a general of the Western Chu Hussars, and the mercy of the Peacock Country!"
The presentation is brief.
But there's so much information!
How could the Duke of Nathaniel not know the weight of these titles?
When these titles are associated with a kid born in a humble background, it almost gives people a sense of inauthenticity, and Nathaniel can also see that Xiang Yun should be one or two years younger than Yu Zixuan, but his cultivation is already above Yu Zixuan.
Talented!
Absolute genius!
Yu Zixuan continued: "This is Duguyue, who is ranked first in Huaxia Xichu University, she is Xiang Yun's senior sister and my friend. ”
Xichu University ranked first?
Nathaniel had heard about Western Chu University.
It's just that I didn't expect that the first place in this school is already an immortal powerhouse.
So how terrifying should the top floor of the Huaxia temple and the old monsters hidden outside the court be!
Grand Duke Nathaniel said: "Zixuan's friends are all dragons and phoenixes among people, since I have come here, then I will do my best to represent the empire as a landlord, don't stand here first, and talk about it later!"
Although the matter is urgent.
But this place is full of people.
It's really not a good place to talk.
The crowd immediately entered the magnificent Duke's Castle.
