The majestic shape of the Cantran Council Hall, built with white rock as the main body, builds a temperament of luxury and solemnity, and the towering white exterior wall precipitates the traces of the baptism of time, and the naked eye can clearly see the subtle gray cracks remaining in every corner.

As the center of power in Cantland, the guards here are naturally tight, and the guards patrolling back and forth hold sharp spears and swords, and their eyes are always on the lookout for the movements around them, but on this day, the magnates in the city of Cantran have discovered a strange thing, the guards of the council hall seem to be very different than before, just the guards stationed outside the council hall with cold expressions can see that something is wrong.

The magnates are sensitive, and while they don't know what is going on in Cantrane, their eyes are already in action, and it may not be long before they know the answer.

While the magnates hurried to inquire about the news, in a beautifully decorated but dignified room in the council chamber, Earl Heather sat in the familiar chair, and looked carefully at the young strong man recommended by Overred in front of him.

Xia Lan's expression was calm, his eyes met each other's eyes, this was an extremely impolite behavior in terms of aristocratic etiquette, but he was not a nobleman, so he would not be bound by the rules and regulations of aristocratic etiquette.

While the other party is observing him, he is also observing the other party, just like you are watching the scenery on the bridge, and the person watching the scenery is watching you upstairs, everything is relative.

"Young strong man, thank you for your rescue today, if it weren't for you, it is likely that I would be dead by now."

In the room, which had been silent for a long time, the Earl of Heather was the first to break the silence.

He didn't mention his calculations against him, he only mentioned his help, and if the other party was a smart person, he should understand the meaning of his words, since something had happened. So why bother.

"Your Excellency the Earl has been polite! Protecting the lives of my employer is just a basic responsibility that I follow. Xia Lan said lightly.

His words are clear, saving people is a simple thing, but it is not simple that he has to pay the price.

"Ofred mentioned to me in his letter that you secretly knew an important secret of Farrant and led him to hunt him down?!" The Earl of Heather diverted the subject, intentionally or unintentionally.

"The importance of a secret lies in the opinion of different people, and for me it is not important, but ...... It's important for you, or for Rodeway as a whole. Xia Lan said calmly.

"That's why Farrant went to great lengths to send Bai Cize and Bukins to hunt you down?" Earl Heather didn't seem surprised at all.

"Because this secret is just as important to him." Charland Road.

"I'm curious to know what hides this secret that makes it so worth caring about." Earl Heather said.

Xia Lan's fingers moved slightly, and a thin piece of paper suddenly appeared in her hand, and when she raised her hand, she saw that the paper fell lightly on the table in front of Count Heather.

Earl Heather glanced at Xia Lan with a slight expression, he didn't expect the other party to reveal this secret so lightly. Did he really think that this secret could be exchanged for the essence of life?!

Pick up the paper on the table. The Earl of Heather read nonchalantly. And his face continued to become solemn with the passage of time, until finally he frowned angrily, and the thin paper in his hand was torn into countless pieces in an instant!

The Earl of Heather calmed his heavy breath and tried his best to soothe his angry feelings. After a long sigh of relief, his gaze at Xia Lan began to change.

"This is indeed an extraordinary secret, young and strong, you have won my attention."

"As stated in the letter, you have found yourself in a very dangerous situation, Lord Count." Xia Lan said quietly.

"Yes, winter has arrived, and the first snow has fallen." Earl Heather took a deep breath of the icy chill in the air and said.

"And you didn't have the slightest precautions in place." Charland Road. "But there are always good things."

"Rejoice?!" Earl Heather shook his head and laughed.

"At least you know their plans now, and ...... If I'm not mistaken. DeWitt should be their man, and now that the biggest hidden danger in Rodeway has been removed, all you have to face is a battle on the level of war. Xia Lan said slowly.

"War? Do you think that Ofred, who is in Sloan, can withstand the overwhelming army of Viscount Farrant? The leadership of Bai Cize alone is enough to fall the entire Sloanan, and as far as Viscount Duda is concerned, this 'honest man' who has endured for many years is probably not simple! Earl Heather snorted coldly.

"Lord Earl. Do you really have no chance of winning this time?! Xia Lan asked in a calm tone.

"You should know the enemy we're facing this time." The Earl of Heather pointed.

"But I'm sure they're not going to make a blatant move." Charland Road.

"You know them?!" Earl Heather frowned.

"Not much, not less." Charland Road.

"Huh...... Even if they don't strike head-on, what can I do to fend off the surprise attack they've been planning for years?! Earl Heather said gloomily.

There are some things that go far beyond showing that war cannot solve all problems.

If Viscount Frante colluded with that mysterious force to plot the territory of Rodeway for many years, then their secret forces may have already penetrated into the large and small places of Rodeway, maybe the war has just begun, and the troops and bureaucrats on the front line may rebel one by one!

Faced with such a situation, what would he use to stop them?!

"Your strong military strength can't stop it, Lord Earl?!" Charland Road.

"Young and strong, you underestimate war too much." After hearing the other party's words, Earl Heather shook his head.

"Yes, because I only kill." Xia Lan said inexplicably.

Homicide......

For some reason, Earl Heather remembered DeWitt's tragic death.

"I know you want the life essence in my hands, but I have to be honest and say that I can't trust you!" Count Heather stared at Charlandau.

Because he understood what he meant.

"I understand your caution, but I have something you can trust me." Charland Road.

"Something?! What is it?! Earl Heather's eyes narrowed.

"The daughter of the Grand Duke of Sisinia who mysteriously disappeared ten years ago, and now the exiled Princess Pandelia!"
