Not long after, a handsome middle-aged man with a slightly curled mustache walked briskly, and Lear sent him only a few words on the paper: "To the bearded fox, son of the old owl." —The former is Lear's father's name for Baron Humphrey, and the old owl is naturally Baron Humphrey's name for Lear's father.

And Lear deliberately imitated the handwriting of the two people - Squire Sword also had Lear's memory, and she controlled Lear's body to imitate, and she was even ** inseparable.

Although Lear had been put on makeup, Humphrey, who had hurried over, looked at him a few times, and then instructed the doorman not to tell the three men about them, and then led the three of them in and led Lear to a hidden study alone.

Lear was brewing his emotions when a sensation akin to eating mustard spread through his nostrils, and he burst into tears—he knew it was the handiwork of the "fairy", and thought that he would settle the account later.

Baron Humphrey, who could be the Treasurer, had an extraordinary vision and asked, "Are you wearing makeup?"

Lear burst out crying, "All dead, all family dead!" His words were filled with sadness, exactly what a fifteen-year-old had to say - what he was really sad about was how the "mustard" was so spicy.

Baron Humphrey hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe his tears, and then said with a gloomy face: "Since it is Allen's son, then you must have your father's spirit." Stop crying indifferently and tell your story from beginning to end!"

Lear thought to himself that this baron was really unusual, so he started by going south with Alan Lear, including chasing and killing, then being rescued by an unknown force, and finally telling about the mercenary's experience.

Humphrey sat in his chair and thought for a long time, then asked Lear to sit down, went out and fetched a basin of water, and poured a reddish potion into the water to let Lear wash his face.

Lear washed his face in earnest, and all his makeup was gone. Baron Humphrey looked at him for a long time and sighed lightly: "Alas, it is exactly the same as your father back then......"

Baron Humphrey had only seen Lear seven or eight years ago, and was afraid to confirm it at first, but now it was eighty percent.

He walked back and forth in the room a few times and said, "You think right, don't worry about the cannibal family, they have a lot of outstanding people in the new generation, but there is absolutely no one named Pret, they will not kill you for an ordinary clansman." You came to me the right choice, because now there are you in Port Lear, and there are two you, two Charlie Lear!"

"What!" Lear was shocked, never expecting things to be so bizarre.

Baron Humphrey sneered, "I knew they were fake! If you arrived in Port Lear and didn't look for me first, but went to someone else, you would be stupid." ”

"How could this be?" Lear was also a little panicked, he himself was already half a fake, and suddenly two more fakes appeared, which was really weird.

So Baron Humphrey explained carefully.

"After the death of your uncle's family, I suspected that someone was going to target your Lear family, so I wrote a secret letter to your father, but there was no reply. According to your experience, I am afraid that the secret letter arrived after you left the royal capital. Later, old Hans secretly sent me a message that two fake Charlie Lear had come to him one after another. Just three days ago, he told me what he had investigated. ”

"Old Hans found out that the first Lear was chosen by some old forces in Port Lear - you should know that once the Earl of Lear loses his heir, Port Lear will be recovered, and in the future, I don't know who will run Port Lear, and those old forces can't afford to take a huge risk, so they create a fake heir. If you do die, I'm afraid old Hans will support this man. ”

"The second Lear is more interesting. It is said that the envoy of the kingdom was rescued on the road, but the envoy of the kingdom was ordered by King Notting to deal with the inheritance of Earl Lear. ”

"Could it be that the Notting royal family is targeting our family?" Lear said.

"Probably just one of them. Humphrey said.

Port Lear was originally a domain of the Duchy of Barlow, which was later given to Garren-Lear by the Grand Duke of Barlow. Although Grant the Great later elevated Port Lear to the status of an Imperial port, with the Homan Empire Customs Office administering taxes, the Earldom of Lear was also under the jurisdiction of the Archduke of Barlow.

But the problem arises again, theoretically the Grand Duke can only canonize the management lords, barons and viscounts at most, and the king can canonize the counts and marquis of higher management in addition to the lords, barons and viscounts. Independent kingdoms can be canonized as dukes, but fiefdoms that are part of an empire require the emperor's approval to be canonized as dukes.

Principalities, kingdoms, and empires are three levels of political power, from low to high, and should not be confused.

The Earl of Lear was beyond the scope of Archduke Barlow's administration, and Archduke Barlow was canonized by the Kingdom of Notting, so in fact, the Kingdom of Notting often sent officials to Port Lear in recent years. Of course, the military, administrative, and financial departments were completely controlled by the Earl of Lear's people, and the people sent by the Notting Kingdom did not have any real power, and the officials who came to Port Lear were all to accumulate seniority and make some money by the way.

The Kingdom of Notting was a divided kingdom of Horman rather than an independent kingdom, so the royal family of Horman also had the right to meddle in the affairs of Earl Lear.

In short, Port Lear is a big piece of cake that everyone wants to take a bite of.

Lear had long analyzed that Archduke Barlow couldn't eat Port Lear at all, only the Notting royal family or the Holman royal family had this ability, and his enemy was likely to be one of the two.

The origin of the second Lear is confusing, but it is already obvious that the Notting royal family, if not the real mastermind, must be a very important participant, and it is definitely Lear's enemy!

"I've finally found an enemy, as long as I kill the people involved in the Notting royal family, I will have one less chance of being erased by the power of the plane!" Lear thought through gritted teeth, unconsciously he had a common hatred for poor Charlie Lear.

Note: The system of aristocratic fiefdoms varies from country to country in Europe and is constantly changing. The premise of this book is not exactly modeled after the European aristocracy. The Homan Empire was the supremacy of imperial power, but there were emperors who were not in contention and there were emperors with an iron fist.
