Early the next morning, Charles, who was woken up by Elizabeth, came to the docks to bid farewell to the caravan heading south by water.

Charles's accident did not affect the caravan's itinerary too much.

Avalon City is rich in magic cores and other magical beast materials, and there are dwarven craftsmen on the side of the Forge Holy Land, and after the caravan finished the planned goods in Avalon City, they came to the Forge Holy Land to purchase enough goods.

Next, the caravan will reach the royal capital of the Kingdom of Fringen by water, where it will sell some goods and buy new goods before continuing south by land.

While the horses were being loaded, Thomas Cromwell, who had not been seen since entering the city of Avalon, appeared in front of Charles.

Cromwell said to Charles in an ambiguous tone: "Cousin, don't run away with the cute little girl. ”

Wayne on the side nodded and agreed: "Yes, yes, you should learn from Cromwell, when he was collecting wind in Avalon City this time, he almost let a female knight run with him." If he hadn't begged us to leave Avalon as tomorrow, you would have seen the knightess on our ship by now. ”

Charles looked at Cromwell speechlessly, this was not the first time this kind of thing had happened.

"You have to be careful when you get to the king. Charles instructed Cromwell, "If you mess with the families of the great nobles, be careful of being taken away." ”

"Don't say such things, little ones. "Halkala gave Charles a brainstorm.

Just then, a small runabout approached the pier. Someone on the bow of the ship waved in this direction, "Thomas!"

"Yo, I'm chasing after you!"

The people in the caravan who had nothing to do immediately entered the theater mode.

Cromwell's face turned white suddenly, and he immediately jumped on the back of a horse that was about to board the ship, and said to Aubrey not far away: "Boss, I'll go first, and we'll see you all!"

Amid Aubrey's shouts of "you're going to add money," Cromwell slipped away from the docks on a horse without a saddle and stirrups.

"This kid is very good at riding. Wayne commented on the sidelines.

The knightess jumped ashore without waiting for the ship to come to shore, and then rushed into the carriage shop near the harbor, rented a horse, and chased Cromwell.

After bidding farewell to the caravan, Elizabeth told Charles that when the business of Avalon was done, they would take a shortcut to catch up with the caravan.

"You'd better stay in the room today and don't come out. Elizabeth said to Charles, "The demons have appeared, and although he seems to have come with good intentions, it is difficult to say that there will be no surprises. ”

Charles, who is as good as a stream, said that he would stay in the room today and not go out to join in the fun.

After all, the people of the demon clan are on an official visit here, and he can't help but run over and ask, "Are your horns waxed?" is a bit of a bad sight, and maybe there will be some diplomatic disputes.

"We'll oil the horns. That's how Alexei answered the question.

Charles, who had just returned, stumbled and almost fell.

Then he saw Alexei in the living room, accompanied by Brigitte, chatting with Diana in the living room, and Diana asked, "What kind of oil do you use? Is it mineral or animal?"

"It's the oil of several plants. Alexei said the names of several plants in the language of the demons, "When the oil pressed by these plants is mixed, it not only makes our horns smooth and shiny, but also prevents them from being attacked by bacteria. ”

Diana took out a small notebook and wrote down the names of several plants that Alexei had just mentioned.

Seeing Charles return, Alexei stood up and walked over to Diana after apologizing to him.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Earl MacGardenen. Alexei saluted Charles.

Charles knew that he was honoring his ancestors and not his own little boy, so he replied, "I didn't know that Bishop Alexei was visiting, and I couldn't greet him when I left for some reason, please forgive me." ”

What followed was a round of unnutritious polite conversations, and while some of the things behind the history were known to those present, this was not the time to put them on the table, and what was known by all parties was somewhat different in detail.

Before leaving, Alexei suddenly said to Charles: "I heard that the Maccaden family has suffered a misfortune recently, I wonder what we can do about it?"

There was a hint of murder in Alexei's tone, which everyone present could hear, but Brigitte was on the sidelines, as if she hadn't heard it, she was chatting with Diana about the skincare tips of the dwarves working by the fire.

Charles didn't feel surprised that Alexei brought this up, how to say that their family is also a relative of the emperor on the demon side, although it is a little far away. Now that the emperor's relatives have been killed, it is impossible for the demon clan not to make a statement.

The Forge Temple, which has a connection to the McCaden family, has taken a tacit attitude towards this matter, they are not easy to come forward, but it is enough to turn a blind eye on some things.

However, Charles had his own plan for this matter, so he politely rejected Alexei's suggestion. He didn't want the demons to give experience points to his own open enemy.

"I've got my own plans for this. Charles said to Alexei, "I don't want to let this contact between East and West be affected because of my relationship." ”

Although Charles has his own plans, others have their own little plans.

A large river divides the inhabited area of the continent into north and south, and there are five kingdoms in the northern part of the river.

The three northern kingdoms, from west to east, are the Kingdom of Filingen, where the city of Avalon and the Forge Sanctuary are located, the Kingdom of Biberach, which is adjacent to the County of Maccaden, and the Kingdom of Raelik, where Viscount Adonis was born on the coast to the east.

To the south of these three kingdoms, to the west is the kingdom of Bischberg, where Charles's enemies are located, and to the east is the kingdom of Rybach, which commissioned the forging of holy sites to develop a new type of armor a while ago.

Although the transportation of the Bischberg Kingdom is not convenient, because of the many mountains and many magical beasts, it is one of the favorite places for many caravans and adventurers who go south and north, and go from place to place.

Just as Charles sent Alexei out of the room, in the royal palace of Bischberg, King Antoine II Bischberg of the Bischberg Kingdom sat behind his desk and rubbed his temples helplessly.

He is already old, and his thinking can no longer keep up with the difficult government affairs, and his head has a headache from time to time.

The biggest headache for him is his four sons, all four of whom are excellent, especially the youngest son, Alan Bischberg, who is the best one. He didn't care if this son was a brave man who crossed over or not, as long as this son continued to be surnamed Bischberg.

Unable to decide on an heir to the throne, he ordered the princes to compete for the crown prince in accordance with the tradition of the Bischberg Kingdom.

However, his sinful youngest son had recently run into trouble.

A pair of small hands reached into Antoine II's temples and massaged them.
