Spread out on Lan's desk was a rather finely drawn coastal outline of the Southern Continent's Devil's Land and scattered islands in an arc of tension on the entire slightly brownish parchment scroll, as if looking down from the sky, purchased from the hands of the Berndt merchants, a people who believed in the Lunatic religion and were very good at seafaring and mastered some special skills unknown to the world. [Full text reading.]

The importance of information is self-evident to Luo Lan, and without them, it would be like losing his eyes and ears on this stormy continent.

The Black Dragon Nimbast is entrenched on a fusform-shaped island, and along with some of the surrounding islands, the area is known as the Nanfeng Islands, which are full of high cliffs and narrow straits, and are full of reefs and shoals.

Luo Lan stretched out his finger and clicked on a harbor with a name written on it on the Nanfeng Islands and the endless coastline, and a miniature boat made of magical symbols immediately appeared between the two places, showing the route it would sail.

Luo Lan nodded, his eyes still fixed on the magic map, and said casually: "So, this prince is indeed going to participate in the battle of dragon slaying?"

Covered in white bandages, Atocimad fell to his knees, cold marble supporting his knees, and bowed his head, "Yes, master, at least that's what their servants say. He hesitated for a moment before he spoke: "It's just that the princess seems to be determined to win Young Master Lemon. Since Luo Lan saw through his careful thinking last time, he now has to be cautious in his words and deeds, for fear that Luo Lan will accidentally erase his memory.

Luo Lan smiled and glanced at him. As if perceiving his subtle psychology, he changed his tone and said, "A prince went to participate in the battle of the dragon slayer, Adosimath, what do you think his purpose is?"

The green light in Atozimath's eyes flickered, he lowered his head and thought for a moment, and then said slowly: "A nobleman lives in the world. In addition to the necessary pleasures, there is nothing more than the acquisition of greater fame and power, and since he is already a prince in power, all his purposeful actions are likely to be for the sake of glory. ”

"Logically speaking, it does. Luo Lan watched the magic ship on the map gradually sail into the island, he narrowed his eyes and said, "What if this is exactly what he wants the world to think? Maybe he wants both power and glory?"

Adozemoth was stunned and said, "The master means that he still has a deeper intention buried?"

A smoky warm breeze came in through the window and spread soothingly in the room, the soft silk curtain fluttering softly, getting closer to the endless sea. The warmer the climate became, and the corner of the map couldn't help but be lifted, and Luo Lan took a black cobblestone and pressed it there. The mark of that position happened to be the palace of a kingdom, Luo Lan raised his head, and looked down and said, "If a prince can go one step further and sit on the throne of the king." That's even more perfect. ”

Adozemoth wondered, "If this is his goal, it is not surprising, but what does it have to do with us?"

Luo Lan took out a scroll from the spatial ring and threw it to Adosimath, sat back in the soft velvet seat, and motioned, "Look at it." ”

Curious, Adozimad unraveled the scroll. It was a survey manuscript. As a high-ranking thief. He could tell at a glance that it was the work of the Thieves' Guild, and that it contained a detailed report on the Prince.

He thought it was strange. They had only come into conflict with the prince's subordinates and servants yesterday, and Luo Lan hadn't gone anywhere, how could this report reach the latter......'s hands so quickly?

His heart moved, and he looked over the remnants of the fire paint, where there were some illegible vague dates. He couldn't help but be horrified when he recognized it, because it was a week ago!

That is to say, as early as that time, Luo Lan had already begun to investigate this prince, and he surged up with an irreproducible head, could it be that this seemingly accidental encounter was deliberately arranged by the master? A chill rose from the bottom of his heart, and in an instant, it covered his whole body.

The more he came into contact with Luo Lan, the more difficult he felt to guess the true intentions of this master, it was like a demonic beast in the dormant abyss, when you noticed something unusual, you might have lost everything.

"Prince Tyrol Humi is the honorary monarch of the Duchy of Nurs in the north, that is to say, he is the uncle of the current king of Eastton, Bryss II, Eastton is a kingdom with a high concentration of monarchy, although Prince Shyumi has a high status, but his territory is only a few hundred personal guards, and he has been under the close supervision of the king for a long time, he seems to have been for twenty years

Avoiding taboos, almost never out of the territory. Luo Lanmo put his hand on his hand and said lightly: "What is the reason why such a rule-abiding person is willing to risk the suspicion of his suspicious nephew to participate in such a seemingly innocuous dragon slaying battle that has nothing to do with him?"

Adozimoth thought for a moment, and replied cautiously, "Unless it is in this operation that he will get far more than he needs to keep." ”

"Correct!" Luo Lan's eyes drooped, his gaze seemed extremely deep and distant, and he said in a deep voice: " It was also by chance that I learned that before the battle of the dragon slaying began, a chief monk of the Monks Society had secretly contacted him several times, and it was only after the last time that the action of the Dragon Slaying War was really determined, it is obvious that the two sides should negotiate what conditions, many of the members of the Monks Society are some old nobles in the mainland, and the power that can be exerted is naturally self-evident, but as a Prince of Easton, what can he provide to the Monks' Society?"

Perhaps it was the battle of the dragon slaying that touched a certain nerve in Atocimad's heart, and he only thought for a moment, and then blurted out: "Is it for the sword of Arosu that the Kingdom of Easton claims to have the power to slay dragons?"

"A weapon that claims to have the power to slay dragons, even if it is just a legend, is enough to arouse the covetousness of various forces, and it is not surprising that it has been lost among the people. Luo Lan touched his chin and said.

"What does the master mean that it still exists in the hands of the Easton royal family?"

"Not only that," Luo Lan waved his hand and said lightly: "Because this sword has an extremely special role, for hundreds of years, it has symbolized the legitimacy of the kingship of Easton, and whoever gets this sword is the true monarch of the kingdom." ”

Adosimath's voice lowered unconsciously, and he said, "So the master judges that this sword may still be in the hands of this Prince of Shumi?"

The corners of Luo Lan's mouth curved an unfathomable arc, and he said: " Contacting the previous actions of the Monks' Association, coupled with the fact that this person is now so suspicious of the King of Easton, this possibility is very large, and he is probably using this opportunity to justify the dragon-slaying sword in his hand, because with only a slashing sword that no one knows, no one will believe what he says, but once the black dragon is injured or dies under this sword, then he will stand on the throne of the righteousness, and if he gains the support of the Monks' Council at this time, then he will have a good chance to win the throne of the king. ”

Adozimo involuntarily flinched, he looked at Luo Lan's gaze like a ghost, and deeply felt a shudder from the heart, just a few simple clues can deduce so many results, what an amazing inference power?

"So I believe that if something happens to him on the way, I believe that the King of Easton will be happy to see it," Luo Lan looked calm, he stretched out his hand and shook it heavily, and said, "Such a good thing should not be in the hands of a better use of it." ”

Could it be that the master is for the sword? Adosimoth trembled, he suddenly thought that there were three routes to the Endless Sea, and this route was not the closest they took, but Luo Lan chose this one, and the arrangement of the route was also a little strange, no one cared at first, at this moment he thought about it carefully, could it be that this was everything that had been planned a long time ago?

Luo Lan tapped his fingers rhythmically on the table, his eyes were elusively shining, and he smiled: "Even if Florsanders doesn't open his mouth to provoke, I am looking for an opportunity to create some conflict, so that they can take the initiative to come to us, and the current situation is exactly what I want." ”

Even though he had lost his breath, Adosimath still couldn't help but make an inhalation movement, and wondered: "If there is such an important thing, the monks will definitely send a large number of masters to protect it, right?"

Luo Lan didn't answer his words, but smiled deeply, he glanced at the hourglass on the corner of the table below, and said calmly: "Those people from the Governor's Mansion should be here." ”

Soon after he finished speaking, the wine glasses on the table began to jump slightly, and the thunderous sound of horses' hooves began to sound in the long street, vibrating with a bang.

On the long street, a group of heavily armed guards, led by several knights, galloped here, all with sharp axes and spears in their hands, and all of them had grim faces, and it was obvious that they were all highly trained sergeants, and one of them shouted, "Hurry, hurry, surround me all the damned thieves!"
