Act XXII

"Is that you?"

Rosen immediately recognized the other party, but the bearded mercenary looked dazed, and his eyes went back and forth between Rosen and Tia several times before he took a step back as if he remembered something. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Are you two the helpers that guy said he was talking about?"

He said, greeted with a burst of alcohol.

"Let's go in first. ”

Tia frowned slightly and walked straight into the room.

The furnishings in the house are quite ordinary, and it looks like an ordinary person, and if he hadn't known in advance, Rosen wouldn't have imagined that there would be a guy living here who could influence the overall situation of Istar at the moment.

"Do you want to drink, thirty years old, that's a good thing. ”

The mercenary walked a little unsteadily, and he took Rosen and Tia to sit down next to the coffee table in the living room, and then took a sip from the wine bottle on the table.

"No, we have been commissioned by Isaiah Olihara to assist in the return of Viscount Faramor's heir to his throne. ”

Tia said coldly, seemingly disgusted with the mercenary.

However, both she and Rosen could feel that although the mercenary in front of them looked very unreliable, he was also a guy with the upper level of black iron, which should not be underestimated, and what he was doing in front of him might just be a cover-up.

"Okay, I'll call him for you. ”

The mercenary didn't pay any attention to Tia's eyes, put down the bottle and walked up the stairs, and after a while, he led the heir downstairs.

"I see. ”

It was only when he saw the last member of the Faramor family that Rosen had some realization.

In front of him, it was the girl with dark golden curly hair, but compared to what he had seen before, he had tied his curly hair behind him, and his body had changed from a long skirt to a man's trousers and shirt, although he was still young, he already faintly revealed a bit of a leader's demeanor.

"I'm sorry, but in order to avoid the eyes and ears of some people, I can only go out in that posture to make you laugh. ”

Is that why you're wearing women's clothing?

Lawson thought out that the heir in front of him really had a bit of feminine softness, and I have to say that when he was wearing a skirt before, he was also a beautiful girl.

Quickly thinking about what happened on the way to Ishtar, it seems that the Hot Wind Mercenaries mistakenly thought that Tia was a member of the long-missing Faramore family who went to plunder the caravan, and the young man was quite lucky, so Tia saved him from the disaster.

"My name is Jerome Faramir, and I was supposed to be the heir to the Archon of Istal, but now I ......"

He smiled wryly and sat down across from Tia and Rosen.

"By the way, this is Davos O'Neill, a reliable mercenary who escorted me back to Istar. ”

Following Jerome's words, the mercenary beside him also gave a pompous salute.

"So, how can you prove that you are the son of Viscount Faramir and not the puppet that the intelligence dealer found at random?"

Rosen asked directly, this was something he had agreed with Tia, and he questioned the other party as a black face, while Tia knocked on the side to get more information.

"You two can watch this. ”

Even when questioned by Rosen in such a rude manner, Jerome did not panic at all, but took a pendant from his neck.

The pendant featured a crescent moon set with orange gemstones, which Rosen thought was familiar, and after recalling it, he realized that it was the symbol of Istal.

There are such signs on the gates of Istar and on the public buildings of the city, and the crescent moon contains a star, which means that the future is never lost.

"This is the family crest of the Faramir family from generation to generation, and it is also one of the keys to drive the beast of Ishtar, although the senate and the consuls check and balance each other in normal times, but in times of crisis, the consuls have dictatorial power, this key is the key to control the whole of Ishtar alone. ”

Jerome said, placing it in his palm, and the orange gem immediately shone with a little starlight.

"It's a prop that only people from the Faramore family can use, and I think it's enough to prove who I am. ”

"Can you show me?"

Tia said, and the other party happily handed it to her.

The petite girl gently rubbed the badge and quickly returned it to Jerome.

"You're telling the truth, so what help do you need?"

"Thank you. ”

Jerome put away his badge, then looked down and pondered for a moment before answering Tia's question.

"Before I make my request, I would like to explain the situation to you. ”

The young nobleman had a serious expression on his face.

"My father, Viscount Faramir, was actually assassinated. ”

Neither Rosen nor Tia spoke, and it seemed that their earlier guess was not wrong.

"The three members of the Senate Council, they were not satisfied with my father's condition, so they set a trap and killed my father, and they wanted to wipe me out with me, but thanks to Mr. Isaiah's help, I was able to escape from the encirclement, leave the shallow sea, and grow up in a relatively safe environment. ”

Within the shallow sea, the power of Ishar is considered the largest, if it is really as Jerome said, then it is too dangerous to stay in the place controlled by the Senate in his capacity, and it is normal to escape from the shallow sea.

"Wait, since you grew up outside of the shallow sea, why did you go back to Ishtar alone, it should be fairly easy to find the forces of the Templar or the Rainbow Tower to help you regain power. ”

Rosen said that since the Faramir family is the legitimacy of the Ishtar, it should be easy to seize power with the help of the two major forces.

"No, actually, before I came back, I asked for help from both the Sanctuary and the Rainbow Tower, but the attitude of both sides was very ambiguous, as if they wanted to wait and see. ”

Jerome shook his head and sighed softly.

That's something to think about.

On the one hand, the Templar and the Rainbow Tower are of course aware of the importance of cultivating a ruler to control Ishtar, and they don't mind Jerome retaking his city, but on the other hand, these two forces don't want to leave it alone, and the successor who has been pending for so many years is a good example.

Rosen guessed that these two forces wanted to see Jerome's ability, if he could basically complete the revenge on his own strength, then they were naturally willing to help, if Jerome was killed, then these two forces would continue to pull the original pull.

Of course, Jerome himself knew about this situation, so he turned to Isaiah for help, after all, although they all had their own plans, Isaiah had put all the plans on the table, and it was more advantageous to weigh them.

"So, without the help of the Rainbow Tower and the Templar, we need to expose the crimes of the Council of Elders and take control of the Istar army. ”

"Oh, looks like you already have a plan?"

Tia looked at Jerome, a young man who looked about her age, but who had already taken on the rise and fall of a family.

"Of course, the Faramor family has not been in charge of Ishar for seven hundred years for nothing, but before I do so, I would like to ask how you can help, although Mr. Isaiah has told me a few things, but I do not know the details. ”

"Help?"

Tia raised an eyebrow before speaking.

"Sitting in front of you are the mages of the Rainbow Tower and the swordsmen of the bronze rank, what do you think we can't do?"
