"My lord, do you mean that His Majesty the Emperor took the opportunity of quelling the rebellion to eliminate the opposition within the empire?" After entering the hall, Iona finally figured it out.

Hathaway sat down after entering the hall, and then said, "You're right, His Majesty the Emperor is taking this opportunity to eradicate dissidents. The provincial nobles were not at all interested in what the Emperor was doing, and they were very frightened by the affairs of the south, and they were busy consolidating their domains; The capital's aristocratic circles were generally fearful of the emperor, and some of the high-ranking nobles with a clean reputation were already resentful of the emperor's near-intimidation. ”

A maid brought hot tea and snacks, and Hathaway saw that Ilona was a little distracted, and couldn't help but laugh: "Irona." You wouldn't be that naïve, would you? ”

"Why do you say that?" Ilona was a little surprised.

Hathaway picked up the teacup, but he immediately put it down again: "Those nobles of the First Sect are not to the emperor, and they will not show it on the bright side. They would secretly engage in small actions that were not excessive, so that the emperor would know the intentions of these people, and would not be made a big fuss about these nobles' innocuous small actions. In fact...... In the opinion of His Majesty the Emperor, it is harmless to kill as many people as he wants, as long as these dead people do not hinder his strategy. ”

Ilona suddenly laughed, "Seriously, my lord, you're getting ......"

"It's getting more and more like a capital nobleman, isn't it?"

Hathaway interrupted Ilona, but she didn't want Irona's answer, "Do as the locals do, no matter what the Emperor wants to do, I just have to watch." ”

She looked out the window at the sky, it seemed like it was about to rain, Hathaway got up and opened the window, letting the watery air run wildly in the room.

"Ilona, the most urgent thing we have to do is to stay away from the capital, a place full of struggle and blood, and wait until they are almost done, almost fought, almost died! Naturally, the Emperor will appoint new people (no matter which Emperor he is), and that is when we return. Believe me, no matter what tricks the nobles of the capital come up with, at least in Heidelberg, what may happen is still under the control of His Majesty the Emperor! ”

Iona didn't speak, just nodded thoughtfully.

"But ......"

Hathaway suddenly turned around from the window, "Don't think that Fervent XVIII will be reassuring me, he has installed enough spies in Mandy Gaza City, and he has not been the emperor for all these years!" Don't look at his usual pampered face, but when it comes to real scheming and energy, there are not many people who dare to challenge him. So...... Let's play a play with His Majesty! ”

Ilona raised her head: "My lord, why are you telling me so much?" ”

"Because I don't want you to be a maid for the rest of your life." Hathaway said.

"My lord, don't you want me?" Ilona's face suddenly turned pale.

"You stupid girl."

Seeing her expression, Hathaway couldn't help but wonder, "Are you not confident in yourself, or are you not confident in me." Grandpa Will is getting older, I don't want him to work too hard, I'm afraid the burden of housekeeping will be picked up by you in the future, and you still have a lot to learn. ”

"What? I...... I ......" Ilona didn't expect Hathaway to be this plan, and she couldn't help but panic a little.

"Don't worry, it's going to take a long time, and when you go back this time, you'll have to learn from Grandpa Will, and I'm sure you'll be a good manager." Hathaway smiled.

"Lord Marquis, someone has come to the palace." A maid came in to give a report.

"Oh, please come in." Hathaway raised her eyebrows slightly.

It was a greasy-haired and powdery waiter, and as soon as she walked into the living room, Hathaway felt uncomfortable with her nose, and the perfume on the guy was rubbed too much, like a moving perfume jar in the shape of a human.

After some unnutritious nonsense, Hathaway went back to the back room to clean up, and boarded the carriage that had been waiting outside with the attendants.

"Open the window." After sitting down, Hathaway commanded...... The carriage then galloped towards the Palace of Hermes.

……

On March 19, Mandi Gaza City received the first rain of the spring of 911. The light rain turned into a heavy rain in the afternoon, and the continuous rain curtain fell one after another, and the building was soon shrouded in a haze.

There were no pedestrians in the streets, only the lonely water of the carriages, and the snorting of the tall Alpine thoroughbreds, which made them feel extremely uncomfortable when the rain fell on them, and they always shook their heads and tails, but the whips always came to them at this time, and they had to speed up their pace.

The vision is hazy in the rain, people have to find some dark objects to adjust their vision when they go out, although traffic accidents do not happen often, but in this kind of weather, people's vision always subconsciously adopts some kind of evasive way to confirm that they will not deviate from the goal.

The sky in Mandy Gaza is no longer visible, and all that can be seen in the sky is a watery color. The temperature of the air is not very low, but there is still a hint of early spring chill. The smoke rising from the building quickly dissipated into the air, and it felt like the entire sky was overwhelming the city.

The carriage moved slowly on the wet road, the water was splashed in all directions, it crossed the church intersection and turned into the commercial avenue, and then from the south avenue of the town hall into the main street in front of the lord's palace, when the gate of the lord's palace suddenly came into view, the carriage stopped, and a servant-like man sitting next to the coachman jumped out of the carriage, came to two half-orc guards who were looking at them with vigilant eyes, and handed a name card to one of the guards with a big grin: "My master is the cousin of your lordship, Hand this card in immediately. ”

"Wait a minute." The orc guard gave him a cold look, turned and walked into the Lord's Mansion.

Among the Lord's Palace, Petro. After Hughes listened to the report, he glanced at the name post, and his face became a little strange, "It's the lord's cousin again, why do I think that as soon as they appear, nothing good will happen?" ”

"My lord, that man...... Drive away? The orc guard asked probingly.

"No, of course I can't drive it away, I have some things to deal with, you let him go to the reception room and wait for a while, I'll go over immediately." Petro. Hughes said.

"Yes, sir." The orc guards agreed to retreat.

"Cousin......" Petro. Hughes rubbed his head, this thing was really a bit weird. As one of the first officials to follow Hathaway into the Cordillera Plateau, he knew what role Murong Xianxian's cousin and cousin played in the beginning of the development of the Cordillera Territory.

But...... Forget it, anyway, this relationship doesn't have much to do with you, so let's go down and meet this human lord cousin who fell from the sky. Anyway, the specific way to deal with it, after two days, the lord will come back and see the details.

All the way to the reception room, as soon as he entered the door, he saw a young man in his twenties sitting there. Hughes walked over with a smile on his face and gave a noble salute: "Hello, I'm Petro, the political officer of the Cordillera Collar. Lord Hughes. ”

"I'm Williams. Bel. ”

The young man glanced at him, he didn't mean to return the salute at all, and there was a trace of undisguised anger in his eyes: "You can call me Your Excellency Bell Magus, I want to know, my cousin...... Oh, your lord, why don't you come to see me? ”

"Hehe......"

Petro. Hughes's eyes suddenly narrowed slightly, the other party's rudeness to him would not make him angry, but Williams. Bell's disdain for Hathaway's expression made him keenly capture: "The lord went to Heidelberg to receive the award at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor, and will be back in a few days." ”

Petro. Hughes was also looking at this young man who claimed to be Hathaway, he was indeed wearing a magic robe, and his logo was indeed a seventh-level magician, with his age of less than thirty, such an achievement was indeed quite amazing.

It's just that there is Hathaway in front of the comparison, Petro. Hughes didn't think he was better than his lord. You must know that Hathaway is not yet twenty years old this year, and she is already a fifth-level great magician, and in time, it may not be impossible to become a seventh-level magician before the age of twenty, whether it is talent or strength, it will definitely be stronger than the one in front of you.

"By the way, Lord Hughes, right? I don't know what kind of person you are, but this time some of the old guys in our family know that it is not easy for a girl to support such a large business in such an extraordinary time, so they sent me to help her......"

"Well, Lord Bell Magus, I'd like to ask ......"

"Remember who you are, knowing too much won't do you any good, and it's better not to ask what you shouldn't. When Hathaway returns, I'll tell her personally. ”

The young sorcerer didn't even lift his eyelids, and stopped Petro directly. Hughes's questioning, that tone and demeanor of course, was like commanding a servant in the house.

“……”

"Also, Lord Hughes, I heard that my cousin has a factory for the production of weapons?"

"Well, that's right."

Petro. Hughes nodded. The Cordillera Collar's arsenal was originally not well-known, and it was not until the Northwest War that it appeared in people's field of vision because of the appearance of the magic rifle. But it was not long ago at the Battle of Gettysburg that people really realized the terrifying power of the new weapons that the Cordillera had brought to light.

However, after this question, the young magician was not in the mood to continue the conversation...... Apparently he did not think that what was to be said to His Excellency the Administrator. I saw him slowly stand up: "Okay, I've been on the road for more than a week, I'm really a little tired, let someone prepare a clean room for me, and dinner can be delivered directly to the room." ”

Petro. Hughes frowned slightly, but instead of refusing, he had two servants come over and ask them to arrange a room and lunch for the young magician.

"My luggage is still in the carriage outside."

Williams. Bell said dissatisfied.

Well, Petro. Reluctantly, Hughes beckoned someone to carry the guest's luggage into the guest room...... After finally sending off His Excellency the Wizard who fell from the sky, Petro. Hughes gradually calmed down and began to think about the whole thing. R1152
