“…… So, is it true that the Holy Maiden of Light was exactly what Mourinho heard from Master Ann that your team brought her into Grant Fortress in the first place? ”

In front of the transparent floor-to-ceiling porthole, Harrison held his hands behind, and his face that was originally facing out of the window slowly turned back as he turned around. 「」

It's just that Harrison's face is calm now, and he doesn't wear the mask of being swaggering in front of outsiders.

"Yes, I asked two of my subordinates, and they remember very well that the Holy Maiden of Light was on the ice field two days ago, and then was taken in by Patrick to join the team."

"Patrick? Does it have anything to do with Earl Patrick, a close courtier who has been in and out of the court in recent years and is very trusted by Queen Meryl? ”

"The earl is a side branch of the Patrick family, and Remus is a descendant of the Patrick family, and his father is the leader of the nobility of Meryl's southern realm, but he is conservative in his views, and he can be regarded as half a royal party." Lancet knows the background of everyone on his team.

"The family background is not shallow, but it should have nothing to do with the Holy Maiden of Light-"

Harrison frowned, turned to glare at Lancet with some dissatisfaction:

"Although you can properly befriend and favor these nobles, you are too indulgent to let these guys join your team, and you actually let them take in people of unknown origin in private, and you don't even know!

If they have bad intentions and threaten your safety, the consequences are unimaginable! ”

Lancet's trip. "Neither those who oppose him nor those who support him want any personal accident to him, otherwise not only will there be civil turmoil, but Merlin will try to stabilize the rear. Maybe they will lose patience and directly intervene in the internal affairs of the principality.

Lancet understands this, too.

"The forces that have the motive to assassinate me are most likely from the other two empires. Their hands are not long enough to reach into my ranks.

The entire team, plus logistics, is completely beyond the establishment of 2,000 people, and if so many people protect me, it is useless to be cautious. Besides, I trust my personal guards and will not allow strangers of unknown origin to come near me.

Even if there is a case. "At least the ability to protect myself, I still have-"

Randster shrugged, his maturing face already had a hard, resolute line, and the silhouette was somewhat similar to that of his uncle Adolf, but Randster was in the position of Grand Duke. began to have his own unique kingly bearing, even in the face of the Golden Sword Master's doubts, he was still confident and decisive, and he was not pretentious.

“…… As for Patrick, he still has a lot of potential in business, but he has some little hobbies in women, and he usually controls it well, but this time it may be the beauty of the Holy Maiden of Light that overwhelms his reason. ”

Lancet said, frowning slightly. I thought that with the character of Patrick and other aristocratic children, they would not be out of line under normal circumstances - but an unexpected situation occurred.

Lancet was a little dissatisfied with his lapse in mastering the human mind, and this situation also taught him a lesson, reminding him that anything could be unexpected or exceptional.

"He also had some people with him. If you want to hide it deliberately, you can hide it among the people close to him. Besides, he had actually reported it to my subordinate later, but I didn't pay much attention to—"

A team of nearly 3,000 people, as long as they do not appear in front of Lancet, such an affair as a nobleman's son taking in a woman is commonplace among nobles, and it is impossible for Lancet and his men to pay close attention. 「」

Of course, this kind of thing is a bit unusual to appear on the ice field, for the safety of Lanster, Lanster's close subordinates also paid attention to this matter, but to pay attention to it as Lanster, this kind of thing is not enough level. Although Lancet was on the road, it didn't mean that he didn't know anything about the things in the rear, and the information and information in the principality were transmitted through various ways, plus he had to maintain a certain amount of time every day to maintain his cultivation level, which was enough to divert most of his energy.

In fact, Randster had never seen the face of the Holy Maiden of Light at all, and the Patrick who took the Holy Maiden of Light as a girl in distress hid people very tightly, presumably the appearance of the Holy Maiden of Light should be very objective.

However, in Ranster's mind, there could be no more perfect person in the world than the beautiful woman in his heart.

Harrison calculated the time and realized that before the time point when the Holy Maiden of Light was encountered, it happened to be the time when the Tower of Babel was closed and the elemental tide returned, and the situation in the Holy Maiden's body was by no means something that Lancet or Lin An could do, according to Her Majesty Melissa, the state in the Holy Maiden's body was subtle, but there was a strange balance, even if Her Majesty Melissa herself could not do it.

And a character of Melissa's level, every time she makes a move, she should have a different purpose, especially when it comes to a character like the Holy Maiden of Light.

As for how the Holy Maiden of Light joined Lancet's team after that, and why she was captured by Lin An - no matter what happened in between, in the eyes of Harrison and other powerhouses, it was a trivial matter, and what they really focused on was the purpose of the mysterious person with an unknown purpose, but it had little to do with Lancet and Lin An. 「」

If the Holy Maiden had this encounter in the Tower of Babel at all, it had nothing to do with Lin An and Lancet - when the Tower of Babel opened, one of them was still on the way, and the other should be in the critical period before and after the promotion, and it was impossible to be in the Tower of Babel.

"So, it's all a coincidence?"

"That's what it is."

Lancet sat on the couch and looked Harrison in the eye.

-- It has nothing to do with Ann.

He also added in his heart.

When he waited for not Lin An but a calm-faced Harrison, he realized that something didn't seem quite right.

Fortunately, after learning the identity of the person in the "coffin", he learned from his subordinates, and he was able to clear An's relationship in this matter:

At least according to his subordinates, the Lynn mage that Ann incarnated had been in Grant Fortress for half a year. 「」

And during that time, his team had only set off from the principality for a short time, and even he himself did not expect that he would pass through Grant Fortress half a year later, and on the way he would take in a bright saint pretending to be a fallen girl, so An naturally could not have predicted this qiē so long ago, and planned to ambush here, waiting for his team to come to the fortress with the holy maiden of light.

It was only a coincidence that his team took in the Holy Maiden of Light, and that the Holy Maiden of Light fell into the hands of Ann and was sent to the strong man of this ship!

Lancet knew that the war between Merlin and the demons was about to begin, and the most vigilant thing was the imminent movement of the Holy Empire, and it was never a good thing to be involved with the Holy See at such a time.

He wouldn't let himself get into this quagmire, and he wouldn't let Ann get into it.

Harrison organized himself in his mind, and found that what he knew so far could not be connected to Lancet and Lin An in any case, and nodded inwardly.

This is also what Harrison is happy to see, what happened to the Holy Maiden of Light is too strange, he doesn't want the Grand Duke of his principality to have anything to do with this matter, and the attitude towards Lin An, the strong have already made a conclusion, so he doesn't want to see Lin An involved at all, making things tricky.

The things asked by Lancet here have little to do with what the strong people want to know, and the strong people want to know more, unless they wait for Lin An to wake up, or let the two people in the body of the Holy Maiden of Light explain it themselves.

In contemplation, Harrison suddenly raised his head and looked at the delicately carved door, the heavy ebony door was full of weight and excellent sound insulation, even if it was close to the door, it was impossible to hear the movement inside and outside.

Then Lancet heard three knocks on the door.

Upon response, two of Ranster's men, who had been pushed outside, opened the door and turned sideways to let one of Harrison's male followers in.

"Gabbio, what's wrong?"

Harrison asked.

The follower called Gabbio is not striking, but his eyes are more flexible. He saluted Harrison and Rance respectively, then looked at Rand before saying:

“…… It's His Excellency Jose Mourinho. He was turned away, he was not able to see Master An, and caused some small disturbances, which were not very big...... Now Master Ann has woken up. ”

Ranster was shocked, his uneasiness rose to the fullest, and his face slowly sank.

"Ann is unconscious? What's going on? ”

He stood up and pressed the anxiety in his heart, although his sword eyebrows were condensed, his expression was still calm, and he didn't let the eagerness show too much on his face, only making people feel the pressure brought by the majesty of the Grand Duke:

The superior person can't show his preferences and attention on his face, it will only bring bad luck to the people he values - at the beginning in the county capital, if he could not be so eager for quick success, then maybe the murderer behind the abduction of his mother would not be forced to do whatever it takes, so that the bad news of his mother would come so quickly.

It's all a bloody lesson, and Lancet won't do it again!

Harrison on the side noticed Lancet's expression and nodded slightly.

"It's not a bad thing for Master Ann, it's just that he's in a coma for a while," Harrison said, "If you're worried, you can go and take a look." ”

It also happens to see if this little girl will take the opportunity to divide the Grand Duke.

At present, the Grand Duke is inseparable from the support of him and the Empire, the Grand Duke and his uncle were born in the Southern Legion, and they have already been branded as pro-Empire, and with the support of the Grand Duchess Elizabeth, the Empire and the Meryl royal family have reached a delicate balance in the competition for the position of Grand Duke, so that the Grand Duke can ascend the throne.

After all, the Duchy is Merlin's southern gateway, and if the Holy Empire has any intentions in the war between the two races, it will be the Duchy of Stuart that will bear the brunt. During this period, neither the empire nor the Meryl royal family would give up their control of the duchy, and the balance reached on the throne of the Grand Duke was extremely delicate, and the slightest mistake in the Grand Duke's move would cause a chain reaction.

If that little guy only cares about his own selfishness and doesn't consider the situation of the Grand Duke, then such a selfish woman is better not to trust and attach too much importance to the Grand Duke, even if the power behind the little girl and her potential may be useful to the Grand Duke.
