Chapter 517: Looks Perfect
Valker stopped talking, his face fading from astonishment and sinking into deep contemplation.
Aleline's status is very special, he is a member of the Inspectorate of Fay'an Town, who is responsible for secretly patrolling local military and political affairs, and can directly arrest and interrogate any officials and civilians suspected of endangering the rule of the kingdom, and it is said that the power of the Inspectorate is directly vested in His Majesty the King who rules Angrien, so the local council has no right to interfere with their actions.
Valker was puzzled, he was just a small sheriff, how could he drive the inspectorate.
At first, his first reaction was that the bureaucrats in Fayan Town were planning to cross the river and tear down the bridge, but listening to Aleline's meaning, it seemed that he had offended someone to cause this unwarranted disaster, but the problem was that he couldn't remember that he had no intention of offending any powerful people! Don't look at him as arrogant and domineering on weekdays, but he never stupidly provokes right and wrong!
"Aleline! Do you know which big guy is going to deal with me? Valk was silent for a long time.
"Councillor, Viscount Maxius." Alelyn hesitated.
"Viscount Maxius...... Hehe...... It turned out to be this big shot! Valker smiled bitterly. Aleline! Do you believe I'm going to offend the most powerful man in Fayon for no reason? ”
Viscount Maxius is a powerful nobleman who was sent to the town of Fei'an in the year 214 of the kingdom calendar, and once repelled the border attacks of the Heather Empire several times in the year of freezing rain, so that his great military exploits made him a new upstart in the kingdom's military achievements, and His Majesty the king personally gave Maxius the rich land around Fei'an Town.
Since Maxius came to the territory of Fay'an Town, he has maintained a low-key attitude, except for the name of a senator in the council chamber, he rarely shows up on weekdays. He never even interfered in the local affairs of Fei'an Town. In time. People began to forget about this transcendent viscount, and only a very small number of noble officials would take it to heart.
Once Valc learned something about Viscount Maxius from various rumors, it is said that this viscount is a staunch royalist, one of the main reasons why His Majesty divided him to the town of Faian is to secretly monitor the place and consolidate the centralized rule of the kingdom, and on the other hand, the town of Faian is close to the Heather Empire, once the border war breaks out, Viscount Maxius stationed in the town of Faian can quickly lead troops to support!
Although Aleline rarely spoke about the Ombudsman in front of Valk. But Valker was convinced that it was probably the Viscount who was in charge of the Inspectorate.
What puzzled Valk was why Viscount Maxius had to deal with him, a little man like an ant!
"Walker, do you think my trust is useful?" Alerin shook his head and sighed, "The most important thing for you now is to get out of Fa'an Town as soon as possible!" ”
"Aleline! Brother, I thank you so much for coming to me in spite of your indiscipline! It's just that I really can't suffer this innocent wrong! Valk gritted his teeth and said, "I must know why I offended Viscount Maxius before I am willing!" ”
"I'll help you find out!" Alerin nodded, reached out and pulled a delicate dagger out of his boot and handed it to him. "Fallen Leaf Town, east of Faian, has a friend of mine who graduated from the Kingdom Military Academy at the same time, and you can go there to join him! This is my token, and he will naturally help you when he sees it. ”
Valk took the dagger, took a deep breath, and reached out to pat Alerin's shoulder: "Good brother! In the future, I will definitely repay you for your kindness today! I hope we will meet again one day! ”
"Precious!" Aleline said silently.
Valk arched his hand at him, then quickly disappeared into the night.
"We don't owe each other anymore!"
Aleline stared at his distant back and muttered to himself.
His acquaintance with Valk began in an accident. After graduating from the Kingdom Military Academy, he was ambitious and ready to show his strength, and saw that other classmates and friends were assigned to various armies as the backbone of non-commissioned officers. Unfortunately, he became a spy of the local supervision department, which was unacceptable to Aleline, who was determined to make meritorious contributions to the land and confer knighthood.
As we all know, the power of the Supervision Department is great, but it is extremely difficult to promote the knighthood, but the army is different, the Kingdom of Angelion has always paid attention to military merits and knighthoods, but all soldiers who have made outstanding contributions in the war can be honored to be awarded knighthoods, because the surrounding countries covet the richness of Angelion, conflicts and wars on the border are never lacking, Aleline is confident that he will be able to receive knighthoods with his military talents in the future, who expected that a paper order from the military department completely shattered his dream!
Indignant, he finally reluctantly accepted the reality after protesting one after another to the uselessness, after all, it was impossible for him to willfully refuse the military department's order, otherwise he would have no place in the kingdom in the future!
Later, he learned that his assignment was manipulated by a noble young master who had offended him in the military academy, and Alelin, who was born in a down-and-out aristocracy, was powerless to resist the power of the other party, and finally came to Fei'an Town to take up his post.
Depressed, Aleline spent the day drinking to kill his sorrows, but once he was drunk and got into a fight with the local ruffians, and was accidentally stabbed, and he fell in a pool of blood and was rescued by Valk, who was leading a patrol.
Valker still has an eye for people, and he quickly becomes a friend with Alelyn through his intertwined relationships, and successfully helps Aleline complete several tasks assigned by the Ombudsman.
Although the arrogant Aleline didn't look down on Valker as a person, he couldn't repay the grace of saving his life, and he was not familiar with life in Fei'an Town alone, and Valk just filled this point, and the relationship between the two developed smoothly.
Alelyn was well aware of the consequences of the whistleblowing, but in fact he had other thoughts in mind.
Valk is just a small person, even if he lets go of his punishment without permission, he will not be guilty of death, if he can see Viscount Maxius who he has never met because of this, he will inevitably kneel and beg the other party to leave the supervision office, and from then on serve Viscount Maxius, even if he becomes a knight, so that he can find another way to embark on the road of military merit and knighthood!
This not only repays Valker's kindness, but also solves the obstacle of yearning for knighthood, so why not kill two birds with one stone?
Not to mention Aleline's wishful thinking, Valc, who packed up his belongings and prepared to flee on the other side, was undoubtedly much more embarrassed!
After twenty years of hard work, once he returned to the same place, Valker, who suddenly encountered the ups and downs of life, could imagine the mood at this time, he rode the tall horse that was skillfully snatched from the merchants of the Northland, and looked back at the familiar town in front of him, his heart continued to drip with grief and unwillingness, he secretly swore that sooner or later he would personally retrieve what belonged to him, and what he wanted to know now was the reason why Viscount Maxius dealt with him!
Joanna's shadow suddenly flashed in his mind, and before leaving, he only regretted that he couldn't kiss Fangze!
If he knew that the reason for his exile was Joanna's, I don't know how he would feel.
……
……
In a brightly lit manor castle outside the town of Fei'an, the knights in charge of guarding the guard are patrolling back and forth in an orderly manner, and the housekeepers and servants in the castle perform their duties, calm and capable, showing a rigorous atmosphere.
"Grandpa! Did your grandson ask you to do it? ”
In a study filled with a faint incense, Bennet leaned on his grandfather's knees and flattered himself.
"Don't worry! Grandpa has ordered someone to arrest the bad guy you said! Viscount Maxius smiled and stroked the only grandson in the family, and said in a rather doting tone.
"Really? I knew that my grandfather loved me the most! Bennett got up excitedly and kissed Maxius on the cheek and said, "By the way, Grandpa hasn't forgotten the good guys who were wrongly framed by the bad guys, right?" ”
"Of course Grandpa remembers everything that little Bennet said! How? Don't you believe in grandpa's ability to do things? Maxius reached out and scratched Bennett's nose and laughed.
"Of course I believe it! Grandpa is the best man in the world! Bennet hurriedly complimented.
"Bennet! Can Grandpa know the reason why you're begging me to do this? Maxius asked curiously.
"Because... Because Bennet had a good friend in the school who was bullied by the bad guys, I ......" Bennett immediately hesitated when he heard this.
"That friend of yours is a girl, isn't he?" Maxius said suddenly.
"Grandpa, how do you know?" Bennett was stunned, and turned blushing.
"Hey, hey! Because grandpa did something similar back then! Maxius patted Bennet's head and said, "All right! Grandpa has other things to do for the time being, you go back to sleep in the bedroom! ”
"Okay! That Ben Knight didn't bother Grandpa anymore. Bennett nodded knowingly, then cautiously exited the room.
"Flinter! Has everything in Bennett's affairs been investigated? ”
Soon after Bennett left, Maxius, who had been left alone in the study, regained his former seriousness, and he took a sip of the tea that was still warm on the desk, as if talking to himself.
"Back to Lord Viscount, things are indeed as Master Bennet said." A low voice echoed. "But something went wrong."
"Wrong? What went wrong? Maxius' voice was cold.
"Not long after you gave your order, Agent Alelyn secretly sent a message to Valk and let him go!" A low voice said.
"Let it go, let it go." Maxius pondered for a moment and said, "I have time to bring him to see me, the little guy is scheming, perhaps he is not willing to be lonely when he senses the border problem." ”
"Isn't there any need for punishment?" A low voice asked respectfully.
"Thirty lashes for the time being!" Maxius was clearly not on the mind of Aleline. "What's the latest information on the spies lurking over there?"
"According to the owl's report, Cagras has recently mobilized more and more food, and the surrounding troops have fallen into a state of martial law, and the signs of war are already very obvious!" A low voice said.
"It seems that the Heather Empire is still obsessed with the rich land of Windsor Plains!" Maxius let out a long sigh. "Wang Enhao, now is the time for the old decay to serve His Majesty!" (To be continued.) )
