Go undercover under the eldest prince Gatru...

Ayton was secretly surprised in his heart, he thought at first that he would use Bais's life to blackmail himself to force Lan Coco to do something, but now it seems.

"The person who attacked the little princess last night was instructed by the second prince. Ayton walked over to Pivott and whispered.

"Hehe, last night's incident was just an accident, I believe that as long as the celebration at the end of summer is over, Her Royal Highness will be fine" The corners of Pivot's mouth showed a smiling face. This answer can be regarded as a tacit acquiescence, and Lan Coco is indeed in his hands.

Ayton pondered for a moment and said, "I still have a question, why did you second prince pester me. ”

"Didn't I say that His Royal Highness the Second Prince has a discerning eye, and it is precisely when he heard about the feat that Your Excellency has done in the Land of Thorns that he ordered Your Excellency to approach you. Pivot smiled faintly, knowing that today's events were in order.

"Presumably, the eldest prince has already been in contact with you, as for how your Excellency will go to him, I believe that with your ability, you will definitely be able to do it, and before the end of summer celebrations begin in three days, His Royal Highness the Second Prince will be waiting for your news. ”

“......”

The luxurious carriage slowly drove out of the front yard, and Ayton stood at the door silently watching the departure of the second prince's staff. Ariel asked in a low voice.

"Brother, what should we do now?"

“... We'll have three days to go, so we'll wait until noon, Ariel, and you'll stay home for those three days. ”

"Let me stay at home?!" Ariel's face was slightly gloomy: "Brother, do you want to leave me alone!? No, I don't agree!"

"Be obedient, I'll go and meet that big prince, you protect Starry Night and Bazaar at home. With that, Ayton walked towards the basement, since he was going to join the eldest prince again, he had to make the necessary preparations in advance.

......

The time slowly came to noon, and Warren and the others came back after collecting relevant information.

But last night's court ball was held in the central palace, and the news seems to have been deliberately blocked, only some gossip said that an assassin attacked the palace last night, fortunately there were no important casualties, and all the assassins were executed, but the person behind the scenes is unknown...

In addition, the atmosphere of the North District has become extremely strong, and the excitement of the previous year's celebrations has disappeared.

They did not gather useful information on this day.

After Ayton repeatedly told Ariel to stay home, he set out on his way to the North End alone.

Ariel also seems to recall that when she came home on the first day of Starry Night, she followed Ayton to Ranwagang, which led to an attack on her home and Starry Night's disappearance...

Relying on the guidance of the letter given by the eldest prince at the beginning, Ayton came to a huge mansion, the exterior decoration did not have the traditional Confucian atmosphere, but a faint solemn atmosphere, as soon as he entered the door, the left and right sides were similar to the layout of the martial arts arena.

The two great prince's guards were fighting with swords, surrounded by a dozen men with calm faces, who seemed to be learning and observing.

"Master, those two are fifth-order powerhouses, and the rest are all around the peak of the fourth-order. Mei'er reminded.

Elite soldiers... Ayton quietly continued to follow the attendant towards the depths, and sure enough, as Warren's news said, on the bright side, not only the aristocratic power supporting Gatru was huge, but even the strength of the hand center was far superior to that of the second prince Danmod.

After a while, the two of them came to a large hall, and the attendants stopped where they were, and Ayton settled down, strode open the door, and entered.

Inside, however, stood the eldest prince Gatru Winston and two strange men, one of whom was about twenty-five years old, wearing a suit of armor, with a resolute face, red hair, and eyes that looked a little like Cersylly.

The other was an old man of nearly fifty-five years old, dressed in a black-brown cloth robe, but his eyes were inscrutable in depth.

These two people are estimated to be the right-hand men in the hands of the eldest prince. One article and one martial arts, cooperate with each other.. Ayton pondered in his heart.

But to Ayton's displeasure, Garut didn't welcome his arrival, as if he had a painless pedestrian coming into his house.

The military general only glanced at him twice, except for the old scholar with a formal welcome smile.

"Welcome to join us, it's better to see it for a long time, the little brother really made a wise choice. ”

"It is an honor to meet you, Your Royal Highness. Before leaving, Ayton had already made up for the etiquette of the commoners meeting the prince, but fortunately he did not kneel, but simply bowed 45 degrees, and put his left hand on his right shoulder. Otherwise, he will not come if he is killed.

"And both..."

"I am a staff member of His Royal Highness the Great Prince, you can just call me Mo Lao. The old scholar smiled kindly, and then stretched out his hand to introduce the person next to him: "This name is Bert, and you are the first person to follow the eldest prince, and at the same time, you are very familiar with his own sister. ”

"Cecili?" Ayton glanced at the red-haired man. I had long heard that Cerseili had three older brothers, but I didn't expect to be met by him today.

"Boy, I advise you to stay away from her in the future. Bert said coldly.

"......" Ayton suddenly felt that he couldn't get along with these people, and as soon as he entered the door, he was treated like this. And that letter... Obviously, it was ghostwritten by that Mo Lao, and the eldest prince was actually not very interested in himself!

"I've heard about your experience, but before that, I'm going to hear how you and the Five Emperor Sisters met" Gatru finally spoke, his tone completely unrelenting of rejection, while Ayton took out the words he had prepared for a long time.

The subject expressed that he did not know her identity at the beginning, but simply wanted to use her strength to carry out a vigorous adventure, especially when hunting the undead dragon.

In addition, he also emphasized the relationship between Lan Coco and his life and death, reflecting his status in Lan Coco's heart, but in the end, Ayton also vaguely revealed that he now wants to seek a higher status, so he is willing to take refuge in him.

Ayton bowed slightly, and in this interval, Gatru and the other two made eye contact, but Ayton was actually letting Mei'er stare at them.

Aware of the change in their eyes, the human charm quickly told him that at Mo Lao's suggestion, Gatru would agree to keep him, but could not give him full trust. Bert chose to shake his head directly.

After a while, Gatru spoke: "Only if you are willing to sacrifice your loyalty, I will give you the status and status you want, but if..."

Ayton immediately made a knightly salute and solemnly shouted the words of the oath that he knew by heart, and the eldest prince did not seem very interested in his words, after all, he also knew that loyalty was not just words.

"That's it, little brother, you go back first, and when the specific plan is released, His Highness will inform you as soon as possible. Mo Lao said to Ayton with a smile.

The latter frowned secretly, he really didn't trust himself, and he drove himself away as soon as they met, and he had to show his greater role! Otherwise, it would affect the theft of important information.

"I have a strange thing here, and I want to present it to His Highness. Ayton suddenly looked up and said aloud.

Gatru frowned quietly, while Mo Lao showed an interested look, "What needs to be handed over to His Highness on the spot?"

Ayton slowly took out the flintlock musket hidden in his sleeve, but when the handle of the gun appeared in the sight of the three people in front of him, Bert slammed in front of the eldest prince and burst into a shout.

"Stop!"

Ayton immediately stopped his movements, and several well-armed guards suddenly burst into the door, eyeing him fiercely.

"Get out of the way!" Gatru snorted coldly, he knew the operation mode of the dwarven musket very well, it needed to ignite the fire rope, and the power was not great, in this time, he had enough time to react. Now this move will only lose face.

"Dwarven muskets?" asked Mo Lao tentatively.

"It's a musket, indeed, but not the traditional musket of the dwarves, but I developed it alone," Ayton said, a deep smile on his lips

"Then what's the difference between this thing and the 'traditional' dwarven musket?" Mo Lao asked.

Ayton looked at the eldest prince, who nodded, and then he took out the flintlock pistol that had been made in a hurry and presented it to the public, because it was specially made, the appearance of this flintlock pistol was not flattering, but its invisible internal structure was very different from the one that Filip had built.

Mo Lao stared at the musket for a long time, but he didn't see anything unusual.

Instead of staring dryly now, Ayton decided to show them a live demonstration.

He raised his flintlock pistol, aimed it at the wall, and pulled the trigger.

Bang...

A ball of fire erupted from the muzzle of the gun, and the silver bullet seemed to be wrapped in a complex layer of magical inscriptions, and under the propulsion of the 'compression' enchantment behind it, the bullet sank into the wall at a speed that was undetectable to the naked eye, followed by another explosion, and the wall suddenly exploded into a fist-sized hole.

Although the power does not seem to be large, it is conceivable that if this bullet is hit in the human body and explodes, the fate can be imagined.

Seeing this scene, Mo Lao and Gatru looked at each other, and the horror and coldness in their eyes flashed.

......

"Master, you just gave them this good thing, aren't you afraid that they will kill people and sell goods?" While Ariel is not there, Mei'er is passing the boring time home in Ayton's mind.

"They are big people, people with a long-term vision, and they are not bandits or anything, how can they kill me because of a flintlock pistol. Ayton's eyes rolled in frustration.

The advent of the flintlock pistol was of great significance, this method broke the previous people's understanding of the dwarven musket, if used in assassination, it was definitely far better than most of today, using bamboo arrows, short crossbows and other one-time assassination methods.

If you send a dead soldier to sneak within ten meters of the target, as long as the target is defenseless, the power is enough to kill, for example, at last night's ball, if Ayton standing on the second floor had such a flintlock pistol in his hand, he could easily deal with a certain prince on the third floor, of course, the consequence of this was that he and Ariel would not be able to leave the palace...

"But master, aren't you afraid of any threat to you by giving him this thing?"

"Danger..."Ayton shook his head with a wry smile: "Danger exists around me all the time, if he is willing, send all the fifth-order powerhouses in that courtyard, and I will also be dead." ”

Mei'er flapped the demon wings behind her and flew around in the storage space, muttering faintly: "But what's the use of giving it to him, it's not that he has been driven out." ”

"It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as I can steal more information and that little bit of trust, it doesn't matter to me which of these two princes will fail" Ayton shrugged, "Anyway, I left them three bullets, and after they are used up, without my special enchanted bullets, the power will be greatly reduced." ”

“... Well, there must have been a lot of trouble lately, so Mei'er reserved her mental strength and went to sleep first. ”

"Wait, is there anyone following me?"

Mei'er used her mental power to scan her surroundings, found no suspicious characters, reported it to Ayton, and then yawned and fell into a half-sleep.

Ayton smiled slightly, turned around, and walked in the other direction of the North District...
