The breeze blows slowly through the sultry earth, and the summer heat still does not disperse.

July.

The once mighty empire has now lost the support of the heterogeneous planes, two powerful archdukes have died, and the Bourbon family has tried their best to support Nick Auguste to usurp the throne, but now they are guilty of rebellion.

The Medici family experienced a civil strife, and the second heir, Giovanni Medici, died a tragic death at the hands of the mage.

Now the west is chaotic and ownerless, and the snowy and northern lands are short of soldiers and horses.

The southern border declared independence.

The Augustian Empire fell into unprecedented weakness!

After the new emperor Nick August ascended the throne and declared that he had been stripped of the title of guardian of the Bourbon and Medici for the crime of rebellion.

He was placed under house arrest by Steven Cassdelly and Reinaldo Reyes.

Become a puppet with no soldiers and no power!

The southern frontier that declared independence did not avenge the old Duke of Gendry Bourbon in the first place, but invaded the old neighbor who broke out into civil strife.

Take the opportunity to annex the East!

Steven Castellly, who entered the imperial capital, controlled the emperor, digested the imperial territory and the central region, and incorporated the imperial army, gave the title of guardian of the western frontier to Reinaldo Reyes and made him a duke.

The territories that originally belonged to the imperial domain and the central nobles were all rewarded to the loyal nobles and officers under their command!

At this time, the power has been completely consolidated!

Now, the situation in the empire has become very delicate and treacherous.

Maybe suddenly.

Radical changes are coming......

Northland, Port Stuart.

"How did the world come to be like this?"

In the castle's conference hall, Isabella Stuart, the Duchess of Northland, listened to the information received by her subordinates in a daze, and could not recover for a long time.

"I don't even know ...... anymore"

"Sister, the Medici family is in civil strife, and the Bourbon family has invaded, we should make a move. Wickley Woodford stood up and shouted, "For the greater good of the Northlands!"

"Earl Woodford, watch your words. ”

Hearing this, Tywin immediately looked at him with a straight face, and said in a deep voice: "The Duchess is your monarch first, and then a relative. ”

"Pay attention to your identity!"

Wykeley Woodford: "Lord Tywin, I grew up with Cousin Isabella, isn't it okay to call my sister?"

Artemisia: "Wickley Woodford, don't you know the etiquette of being a subordinate?"

No, I can teach you!"

"Enough!"

Isabella knew that Wyckley Woodford wanted to marry her, and had already proposed three or four times, but with the guidance of Tywin and others, she had learned from Ruth Medici and her cousin Elena from the Great East.

She has already seen through the impurity of her cousin's purpose!

"Let's get down to business. ”

"Earl Woodford, what do you say you want to do for the interests of the Northlands?"

"Our population in the Northland is too small to send troops, but we can take the opportunity to absorb the population of the East and immigrate as before," said Wickley Woodford.

It also allows our Chamber of Commerce to control the market in the East. ”

Isabella looked at her most trusted advisor.

Tywin shook his head, "Even with the new Imperial Lords and the nobles in the middle, we can't control more people. ”

"I am against the continued migration of people. ”

"As for controlling the eastern market...... We can't do that. ”

Wickley: "Isn't there Gabriel Langton?"

"He couldn't do it either. Tywin: "Controlling the Eastern Market requires not only business skills, but also the support of soldiers and horses. ”

Wickley understands this, too, but the Medici family is now dominated by the straw bale Capri Medici, and the East, which has been invaded by the South, has become a cake for everyone to share, and it is a loss to have such a good opportunity not to share the previous share.

Isabella: "I'm well aware of the situation in the Northlands. ”

"I'm not in favor of doing superfluous things. ”

"Sister, the Northland needs to develop, you don't have to be so conservative. "Wakeley.

Isabella: "Going south to grab a cake from the Bourbons, will they agree?"

"The Northland can't afford to take risks!"

Although Wickley knew that his cousin was not wrong, and there was nothing wrong with being conservative, he didn't want to stay in the Northlands.

Because he also has ambitions!

......

......

Eastside.

On the day Giovanni Medici's barracks were attacked by the traitor Capri Medici, Langton did not open the shield in time, so that the Medici's second legitimate heir was seriously wounded, barely protecting the weakened Roderick, and the Assassins came in again.

Although Giovanni Medici was eventually saved by Lanton, many Eastern nobles were bought by Capri, and he ended up bandaging his wounds.

Beheaded by a traitor......

With no side around, Ranton had no chance of saving him, and the traitors ran fast.

Revenge will not work.

The Bourbon family of the South is now invading the East, and in order to protect his territory and family business, Capri Medici is fully focused on defending against foreign enemies.

For the time being, there is no time to manage the others.

In this way, Langton was able to return to the East with Roderick Fox unimpeded.

Emerald City.

Because of the invasion of the south, the new Grand Duke of the East, Capri Medici, gathered ninety percent of his troops and horses to go on the expedition.

As a result, there are not many soldiers guarding the city even in his hometown.

I don't know what this man thinks.

Perhaps as the economic center, the city was never under martial law, and there were still countless traders and caravans coming in and out to buy and sell as usual.

"It is said that Capri Medici is a straw bale. ”

"It seems that everyone is not wrong. ”

Hearing Langton's words, Roderick Fox smiled bitterly and said with some indignation: "But no one thought that this straw bale would betray the family, betray the Eastern Border, and entrap so many people......."

He was furious at his incompetence and failure to protect Giovanni Medici.

"Alright. Lanton: "Hurry up and show me the way, find your third lady of the Medici family." ”

"She will be the hope of all of you Easterners. ”

Roderick shook his head and muttered, "I'm afraid not." Ignoring Langton's doubts, he flew over the luxurious castle of the Medici family in the city, and then quietly infiltrated it.

With mental energy, the two easily avoided all the guards.

However.

Roderick did not find Miss Medici III.

"Then find someone to ask. ”

With Roderick leading the way, the two quickly found the butler of the Medici family.

Seeing the two suddenly appear in the room, the elderly old butler was not surprised.

Very calm.

"You're Roderick from the Fox family?"

Roderick: "It's me. ”

As the steward of the Grand Duke of the Eastern Realm, if he can take care of such a large family, the old man will not be without ability and wisdom.

He immediately guessed Roderick's purpose.

"The young lady has left Emerald City, and I don't know where she is now. ”

Roderick frowned: "Who's protecting Miss." ”

"I don't know. The old butler: "I only send the young lady out of the city, and as for other things, I don't know anything." ”

Losing the news of Miss Three, Roderick didn't know what to do for a while.

Langton will be reminded.

Also proficient in mind and spiritual abilities.

Under the silent spell, the old butler who was only a bronze rank strength had no secrets in front of him, and when they met, they knew that the old man was lying.

Shaking his head, he said to Roderick, "I know that the third lady is still in the castle. ”

The old butler's heart skipped a beat when he heard this, but his face did not change.

Roderick: "Really?"

Langton: "There is a secret passage in the butler's room, just under his bed, and you three young ladies are hiding in it." ”

As soon as these words came out, the old butler suddenly turned out the dagger hidden on his body.

Roderick reacted extremely quickly and controlled the old man in an instant.

"Old man, don't be so nervous. Langton explained, "We will not harm the daughter of Grand Duke Bruce Medici." ”

"I'll introduce myself, I'm Gabriel Langton. ”

At this moment, the secret passage hidden under the bed was opened.

"Let go of Fauber!"

Below the housekeeper's room is a secret room, and the Medici Third Lady who is hiding inside can hear the movement above, and thinks that Roderick Fox can be trusted, and has also heard of Gabriel Langton, whose appearance is overwhelming, and the peerless woman who is unique in beauty takes the initiative to come out.

"Miss. Seeing the main master, Roderick immediately let go of the old butler and saluted respectfully.

Although Miss Medici III, who came out of the secret passage, was dirty, she gave people a peculiar temperament that was muddy and unstained, and was more fairy than a fairy.

"Roderick, I know you're loyal to our family, but for now.

It's better if you don't come to me. ”

Roderick bowed his head respectfully and did not speak.

Casting the Regent Mind can check other people's memories, but he can't read the mind in real time, and Langton is a little curious: "Why do you say this?"

Miss Medici III: "I will not succeed to the family title. ”

"Why?" asked Langton again.

Third Miss: "Because my future is not in the Augustian Empire." ”

Langton: "Then why are you hiding?"

Roderick gritted his teeth and said: "Miss, Young Master Giovanni died a miserable death, he was betrayed by Rhodes, Malonen and others, and was killed by a sneak attack while treating his injuries......

On the banks of the canal, the Earl of Angus was besieged by Steven Keysdeley's transcendentals, his limbs were cut off, and he was finally dragged to death in the field by his warhorse......

Lord Duke... was cut off and stuck on the tip of the gun......

Don't you want revenge?"

Knowing the death of her father, eldest brother and second brother, the fairy-like third lady burst into tears, which made Roderick and the old butler feel heartache when they saw this.

She wiped away her tears and said, "I can't take revenge......"

The old butler sighed and explained: "The young lady has awakened the blood of the elves and was chosen as a saint by the god of the elves.

The young lady must travel to the Everfree Forest to receive the blessings of the gods.

Only the pure can complete the ritual.

You can't stain your hands with blood. ”

"I see......"

Sure enough, it has a special bloodline, no wonder it is so thrillingly beautiful, Langton nodded, and asked again: "Then there should be no problem taking over the title, right?"

The third lady quickly calmed down and said, "No, I haven't been going anywhere at home all these years, just to complete the preliminary ceremony."

And then I'm going to go to the Endless Forest, and there's nothing I can do over there. ”

Langton: "So... You're going to give up your knighthood?"

The third lady really doesn't care about the title.

Roderick: "But, miss, that grass... Lord Capri is incapable of defending the Medici East. ”

The third lady sighed helplessly: "A long time ago, I had foreseen the decline of the Medici family.

Roderick Fawkes, I want you to escort me aboard the ship to the Everfree Forest.

Do this......

I will lift the Fawkes' oath of allegiance to the Medici.

Give you a chance to compete for the Lord of the East!"

Hearing this, Roderick was stunned, and when he came back to his senses, he hurriedly said: "Miss, I never wanted to replace the Medici family!"

"Never thought of breaking the oath of loyalty!"

"Nope. Miss Three: "I want to unilaterally terminate it on behalf of my father."

Just send me aboard the ship of the Endless Forest, and you will have maximum freedom to bring the Fawkes family to glory. ”

Roderick's expression was extremely complicated: "...... Miss... What do you see?"

Third Miss: "I see that you will fight for the East and take power.

Shrewd Gabry, your father always said you were very business-minded.

Would you like to give me a ride?"

Langton: "No problem. ”

The third lady didn't want to stay in this sad place anymore, so she took a deep breath and said, "Then let's go now." ”

Because there were no offspring, the old housekeeper regarded the third lady as his own child in his heart.

Full of reluctance, but he didn't open his mouth to save it, but silently took out the prepared luggage, belongings and magic scrolls.

"Fauber, thank you. ”

Roderick had mixed feelings.

Dragged to cast the illusion spell, he left the castle behind Lanton and the third lady.

There is no oath of loyalty.

The Fox family will be given a chance to develop freely, and Cabri Medici, who is in power against his own people, is a straw bag fool with little outstanding military ability.

If you can expand freely in the East......

"Hey, Roderick, I'm talking to you, why don't you answer me?"

Leaving Emerald City and flying towards Corana Harbor with the two of them, Langton called out to Roderick for a moment.

Roderick, who was in an extremely complicated mood, finally came back to his senses when he heard this.

"Gabry, what did you say?"

Lanton: "I'm asking you what you're going to do next. ”

Roderick shook his head in confusion, indicating that he didn't know.

In fact, in his heart, certain ideas have inevitably wavered, and ambitions have quietly grown!

The starry night is shining.

Miss Medici III, who was carried by telekinesis, was like a goddess under the moon.

Appreciating beauty is an instinct in every human being.

Even if he was confused, beside the third lady who was so beautiful that he overwhelmed all beings, Roderick couldn't help but be a little stupid.

In this regard, Miss San has long been accustomed to it.

On the contrary, he was a little curious about an unmoved person like Langton, curious whether he was pretending to be or really didn't care about his beauty.

So the gossip asked, "Gabry, I heard that you have something to do with my aunt?"

Langton shrugged: "I was too stupid and ignorant at that time. ”

"Nothing to mention. ”

"Oh. The third lady's expression suddenly became thoughtful, her eyes flickered, as if she saw something.

And then there was silence all the way.

Corana Puerto is not far from the Emerald City, and the powerful Langton uses his telekinesis to fly.

Before dawn, the three of them arrived at the pier of Corana Porto.

"Miss... I'm going to contact the ship......"

The third lady shook her head: "No need Roderick, my ship will arrive soon."

You just have to wait a minute.

Before that, I'd like to talk to Gabriel alone. ”

Roderick retracted when he heard this.

Miss Medici, who is more beautiful than the fairies, is mysterious, and Landon has tried to use the Dementor on the way to fly with her.

But not once did it work.

"What do you want to talk about?"

Third Miss: "What do you think of the world?"

That's a bit of a mystery......

Langton: "Nothing, what about you?"

Third Miss: "I don't like it, I thought you were the same." ”

Langton smiled.

"I know your secret. ”

As soon as the third lady finished speaking, a big ship appeared out of thin air on the sea surface of the dock.

Seeing this, Lan Dun looked at it curiously, and also released his spiritual power to probe, only to find that the big ship covered with a layer of fog was like a non-existent void half.

"Could this ship be in danger?"

"No, it's all powerful High Elves. ”

The third lady responded, and then looked at Roderick: "The Fox family is free!"

Lead it to glory!"

...... To be continued......
