At the end of the meeting, the black-haired wizard turned away from the tent and walked towards his tent as a wizard advisor to His Royal Highness, who of course had the right to have a separate tent instead of having to squeeze the eight-man "shack" with the legionnaires.

The regimental establishment of the Sackland Empire, each regiment is composed of six to ten flag regiments, each flag regiment has at least two squadrons, and the squadron has two to three centenarians, and each centenarian has ten squads, and each squad is generally five to eight people.

So if you're unfortunate enough to be assigned to a larger squad, you'll be able to enjoy the aromatic smell of feet and sweat in an airtight waterproof sheepskin tent.

Of course, it is even more unfortunate if any of the brothers still have the problem of fox smell and sweaty feet......

It's really hard to imagine how Lusen, who seems to love cleanliness, survived his first year in the army.

The black-haired wizard who was "full of malice" slightly hooked the corners of his mouth while reverie, and the corner of his eye had already caught a glimpse of someone's figure, but he still continued to walk forward pretending not to know.

"Your acting skills are still so clumsy......"

With a soft sigh, a person standing in the shadows walked out, with some complexity in his eyes: "If you find me, just say it, as for in such an awkward way?"

"Edward?" Loren, who was deliberately pretending to be stupid, glanced at him in surprise, smiled and said, "You misunderstood, I definitely didn't see you just now, anyway... What are you doing here?"

"If you're going to play dumb, we can stand here for a night and wait until tomorrow when His Highness Brandon asks us what we're doing. ”

The indifferent Night's Watch folded his hands behind his back, lowered his voice, and said, "Loren Turin, in your words—can we all trust each other?"

"Nope. ”

"What did you say?"

"If it is the previous Edward, I may be able to exchange feelings with him without any scruples, and not hide anything from him. The smile on Loren's face faded:

"But the current situation is that you betrayed our friendship - when you were in Crucible, you told me that your mission was only to spy on Brandon de Salion's every move, but it's clear that things have changed now. ”

When he was in the Broken Mountain Fortress, Loren had suspected that since it was impossible for Conod to believe in himself, then he must have given the task of assassinating Brandon to another person, another person he could absolutely trust or relatively trust.

Because of this, after learning that Edward had become Brandon's new captain of the guard, and that Conod had not refused to send someone to Brandon's team to mix sand, the black-haired wizard felt that the answer was close at hand, it was just whether he wanted to believe it or not.

"You've been given the task of spying on His Highness Brandon. Loren said coldly: "If it's just spying secretly, it shouldn't be necessary to be such a conspicuous target as the 'Captain of the Guard', right?"

For a moment, a hint of helplessness flashed in the corner of Edward's eyes.

"And when I said this, I was also sincere - I didn't want to get involved in the conflict between the two highnesses, but just like going to fight for the nine-pointed star chalice with you, this is a matter of involuntary responsibility, and I can't help but think about it. ”

The always indifferent Night's Watch frowned, "Or do you think His Highness Conrad can give me a second option?"

"Really?" Loren raised an eyebrow, "He trusts you so much?"

"No, he doesn't believe in me at all, or he doesn't trust everyone. Edward shook his head: "So he ......"

The night watchman paused, seemed to be very hesitant, and glanced around cautiously before slowly speaking: "So His Highness Conod 'bribed' a person who could not be bought to achieve this mission!"

Buying a person who can't possibly be bought...... A hint of surprise flashed in Loren's eyes.

"Should, shouldn't it be ......"

"Unfortunately, you guessed it. The night watchman said unhurriedly, "From the very beginning, he knew very well that His Highness Brandon would never let the legionnaires of the fortress join him, and the legionary meeting you saw that day was just a play directed and performed by His Highness himself. ”

"Quite simply, he didn't need to do anything to get Naze, the knight of the church, to take the initiative, and the provocation of a few words was enough to make His Highness Brandon turn the whole meeting into a farce, and finally His Highness took the initiative to take command of the team. The people he specially arranged also naturally joined the team. ”

"From beginning to end, you will never see the slightest trace of anything related to His Highness Conrad. ”

Edward frowned slightly, and his expression was very solemn: "I don't know who the person arranged by His Highness Conod is, but since he is among the people of the church, then at least they will not have a legitimate reason to approach His Highness Brandon." ”

"All in all, no one should be underestimated. ”

The black-haired wizard's eyes widened, and it wasn't until Edward finished speaking that he finally realized something. A cold touch rose from his back and rushed to the top of his head, and he shivered involuntarily.

Conod de Salion... It's not just my thoughts, but even what we're going to do next?

No... No, no, no, it's not like a guess, but he knows exactly what we do, and even the choices we can imagine are in his anticipation.

From the moment we stepped into the Broken Mountain Fortress, we were already in his rhythm.

Now that I think about it, the reason why I met Lusen was definitely not because of any luck, but because he locked himself in the same dungeon as the gray-eyed boy.

All of this was arranged by him?

Both Brandon and himself have seriously underestimated the judgment of His Royal Highness the Prince of Sackland! This is definitely not an opponent that can be easily put down, but a strong enemy that can force them to death at any time!

"How did he bribe a fanatic of the Church of the Holy Cross to kill Brandon for him?"

Loren, who instinctively opened his mouth to ask, immediately shook his head in the next second, sighed and stretched out his hand to stop the night watchman: "No need to explain, I already know." ”

That's right, that's the reason.

If, as Conrad had predicted, the monsters of the north were about to launch an invasion that would threaten the Sakran Empire, then the death of the prince of the empire would be the best clarion call for war, and weapons would unite the entire empire with anger and anger.

With this reason, he would be able to convince any fanatical believer who would die for the Holy Cross.

That's why Loren hates these guys so much.

"Can you identify this person?"

"I told you, he doesn't trust me. Edward said bluntly, "He only ordered me to take advantage of my position and prepare 'sufficient conditions' for the man to act while he was moving, and that's all—I guess you should have received a similar order when you regained your freedom." ”

Loren nodded silently, remembering in his mind what His Highness Conrad had said before leaving the dungeon.

"I do not expect your loyalty, Lord Loren Turin, but I also believe that you are not as faithful to my brother as you appear, so I ask you only one thing......

...... No meddlers. ”

"As a friend, I will make it as convenient as possible for you within the scope of my duties. But Loren Torino, don't take this for granted. The indifferent Night's Watch lowered his voice, "I won't get involved in anything that involves the conflict between the two Highnesses, but you don't expect me to help." ”

"I would never make such an excessive request. ”

Loren smiled slightly, at least knowing that Edward had not betrayed him, and this was the best information he could get right now - although Conod's layout still made him can't help but fight a cold war, at least he was not suffering from the enemy.

"So... As a friend, could I please do you a small favor?"

"What?"

"Oh, just a small request, not too deliberate... It's just that this matter has something to do with you. Loren curled the corners of his mouth: "I found a still new campfire in the ruins of the watchtower, based on my previous experience, it is likely to be the knight of the guard of Farnesis, and ......"

“...... The gentleman next to him who seemed to be a Farnesian. ”
