The decoration of this manor house of the Grand Duke of Lane can be said to be quite simple, with a very pastoral flavor, and most of the furniture is made of local materials and rough polishing.

Just like the large dining table that was now displayed in front of Edward, this large table was the result of a large tree root that Duke Lane had found out of nowhere, and had been carefully carved by craftsmen.

The dazzling array of furniture looks unpretentious, giving people a sense of tranquility but full of connotation.

In front of the root carving table, there is a pair of mother and daughter with a very special temperament.

It's Princess Jesinia and Princess Cindini.

Because she is a member of the royal family, this Princess Genesia does not look very old, and at most she only has a lot of crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.

As for the little princess hiding behind the princess, well, she is only half a head shorter than Edward, and she is indeed still a child.

It seems that this princess is indeed an advanced maternal age as rumored to be.

Edward calmly glanced at these two distinguished people with special status, nodded, and then turned his head to look at Archduke Ryan on the side.

This man's heart is really big. These two people at the table can be brought out casually to meet people you don't know!

Especially Princess Cindini, if Karan XIII is killed, then the first heir in line to the empire will be this young princess!

"Lord Edward must know these two, huh...... They are my sister-in-law and niece, respectively. ”

Archduke Ryan and Edward's eyes met, well, looking at this person's eyes, he knew that the other party knew the princess's mother and daughter, so there was no need to continue those twists and turns.

"Your Excellency Edward, because it concerns Brune, Jesinia has repeatedly asked me to be at the same table, and I can't compete with her, but rest assured, the two of them are just watching from the sidelines, and they will not say anything, nor will they make any moves that affect your judgment, and I warned them in advance about this."

Grand Duke Ryan smiled awkwardly, his voice getting softer and softer as he spoke, obviously he also understood that with the special status of these two, even if he didn't speak, it would have a great impact on Edward.

In this regard, Grand Duke Lane could only continue to smile awkwardly.

Just as Princess Jesinia opened her mouth to say something, Edward shook his head slightly, his eyes swept over the Grand Duke, the Princess, and the Little Princess one by one, and said, "It's okay, it doesn't matter. ”

Edward is not a person who is easily influenced, after all, in Edward's eyes, the existence of princesses and princesses is just a slightly special person in the intelligent race.

Only the owner of a pure soul would let Edward have more snacks.

Huh, huh? This little princess seems to be the owner of a pure soul?

Edward thought about it for a while, and was silent, Edward planned to find an opportunity for Dylan to contact this little princess in the future, and see if he could fool the other party into the Ancient Asian Cult.

"Alright, alright. Take a seat, come, Lord Edward, you must try the skill of the chef I have invited, especially this honey-glazed dragon meat, which is the best delicacy of my chef. ”

Because he wanted to talk about things, Duke Ryan was very cooperative and did not serve the wine, of course, it may also be because the other party thought that Edward might really be a little Zhengtai.

Five or six dishes had been replaced, and his stomach was already half full, when Edward's gaze met again with that of Archduke Lane.

It's almost time. After seeing Archduke Lane's gaze, Edward knew that the other party was going to talk about something.

Edward put down his knife and fork and looked at Archduke Lane with a calm expression.

"Tell me the truth, Lord Edward, I need strength! I need the power to avenge Brian, so lend me the power of the Demon Hunter! ”

Archduke Lane is a cool man, of course, it may also be because he has investigated Edward beforehand, Archduke Lane speaks very directly, and as soon as he speaks, he directly states his most fundamental needs.

Edward pondered for a few seconds, then suddenly looked up at Archduke Lane, and asked with a bull's head, "Karan XIII is Brian's father, right?" ”

Archduke Lane was obviously stunned by Edward's sudden question, he frowned and hesitated for a long time, and finally asked, "...... Lord Edward, do you think that the current Karan XIII is really the same Karan XIII that once was? ”

Edward smiled and affirmed, "No, even if it is, it can't be the same Karan XIII that it once was." I checked the information of the appliance master and the advanced intelligent equipment. The temperament of the fused appliance master has changed drastically, which is almost standard. ”

"That's right, Your Excellency," Archduke Lane nodded, "and that's one of the reasons why we, the old nobles, are so resistant to fusing smart devices. ”

"Duke Lane, first of all, I want to make sure to you, demon hunters will not set foot on the battlefield of civil strife. Demon hunters exist as it literally, they exist to hunt demons. Edward calmly uttered something that made Duke Ryan frown.

Duke Ryan hesitated and said, "Your Excellency Edward, you should know that the imperial capital is now controlled by three artifacts that tear your skin, and they should be the kind of 'demons' you are talking about, right?" ”

Edward nodded without hesitation, artifact-level artifacts are the biggest enemies in this world at the moment, and they have the strongest impact on the silver trench, so of course they are demons.

"In that case, then why do you still ...... Edward?"

"That's the principle." Edward sighed.

At the same time that the demon hunters of the Ancient Asian God Cult controlled the Holy Fire, they were actually restrained by the Holy Fire, and slaughtering ordinary people was definitely forbidden by the Holy Fire.

It is true that in this great battle against Karan XIII, there will inevitably be powerful craftsmen on Karan XIII's side, but after careful consideration, Edward decided to prohibit the Demon Hunter from interfering in this aspect of the battlefield.

In such a war involving ordinary people, it is difficult for demon hunters to use their fists.

Edward was worried that the Demon Hunter's plight would be noticed by the gangsters on Karan XIII's side, and if the Demon Hunters were to use ordinary people to fight the Demon Hunters, something big would happen to the Demon Hunters!

Therefore, the Demon Hunter must not set foot on the frontal battlefield, this is a decision made by Edward after a period of careful analysis.

"Lord Edward, the new empire can make your ancient Asian god cult the state religion!"

"No, I don't." Edward replied directly.

Did the ancient gods really need faith? No, not really, it's just that Edward wants more people to become believers in the great ancient gods, so he has been trying to preach.

Therefore, the establishment of the country or something is not an excellent bargaining chip for Edward.

"No...... Don't need it?! Apparently he didn't expect Edward to answer like this, Archduke Lane was stunned at the time.

Kalam used to be religious, so Archduke Lane also knew the state religion or something, which had an extraordinary attraction for religion.

But this one in front of me doesn't play according to the routine! By now in the negotiations, the mentality of Archduke Lane, who Edward was tossing and tossing in a few words, was about to collapse.

"Compared to this, I'm more curious about what Duke Ryan thinks about the three artifacts, or in the face of the absolute power of the three artifacts, do you have any chips that can fight each other?"

The power of the three artifacts is like a mountain, and the number is a joke in front of the three artifacts, so Edward has always been curious about this huge crusade that the two archdukes have teamed up, what are they going to use against the three artifacts?

"I will not hide it from Your Excellency, and I believe that Your Excellency will not reveal it. It's alchemy...... Recently, in alchemy, we discovered a special substance that greatly strengthens the power of an ordinary craftman. However, we obtained this substance by accident, and now there are only five copies left, and although the work of reverse derivation has been going on, it has not been very smooth. ”

"We call this substance 'Heaven's Favor.'"

Edward's eyes narrowed, he thought of the will of the world, but after thinking about it, Edward didn't plan to continue to delve into the issue.

Edward looked up at Duke Ryan and asked the question he wanted to ask the most: "Ordinary appliance master directly against the artifact?" ”

"Yes."

"What about the side effects?"

“…… The hymn of humanity is a hymn to courage. Grand Duke Lane was silent for a moment, and finally said decisively.

Edward silently glanced at Grand Duke Lane, nodded slightly, and said, "Okay, I understand. So do you have the ability to lure the three artifacts out of the imperial capital, and if you can't lead out two, you can also do it. There are people on my side clamoring to kill Karan XIII, but they never get a chance. ”
