When Viscount Little came to the shantytown of the Lower Seventh Ring Road, it was past 9 a.m.

The 'fog' worshippers in the shantytowns have already started a busy day.

Although there are enough supplies and there is no need to go to work, it takes a lot of people to clean up the rubble, cremate the corpses, and build fortifications.

The only thing to be thankful for is that the winters in Hokuriku are always cold, so there is no need to worry about corpse decay and the plague that comes with it.

But the worry about friends and relatives still allows people here to complete everything as quickly as possible.

So, when Viscount Little came, he saw a very busy scene.

And, of course, the sentry.

Because, the heir to the royal family of Etandin and the heir to the Serpent faction are one person.

And the Snake Heirs have a great relationship with the 'Mist' Church, so much so that the guards, who are obviously 'surveillance', have become protection in the true sense of the word.

Combined with the patrols and sentries of the Misty Church itself, the guards here are not weak.

As a military fake, Little almost subconsciously assessed how he could break through this place as quickly and at the lowest cost if he was an enemy.

This slightly aggressive gaze was soon discovered.

"Hey, you'd better take that back look."

A young man as strong as a brown bear with a huge double-edged battle axe quietly appeared next to Little's carriage and spoke.

It wasn't until the young man opened his mouth that Little was startled by the other party's arrival, and immediately shrank his gaze.

He began to look at the other man.

When he saw the other party's body shape, he quickly locked on who the other party was.

Rogett!

One of the backbones of the 'Mist' Church.

"Does your own strength cooperate with the 'Mist' magic technique?"

Viscount Little guessed in his heart, but a kind smile appeared on his face.

"Hello, I'm Viscount Little, is Bishop Simon here?"

Originally, because of his long and narrow eyes, the viscount who looked very much like a fox became more and more similar at this time, but the hooked nose was also more obvious, like a fox with an eagle's beak.

Looking at the viscount with this appearance, Rogett frowned.

The young man does not like foxes, and when he was a child, everything he hunted was always stolen by these bad things, and even if he hid it in a tree, he would be bitten off the rope.

Therefore, the young man said very politely.

"The Bishop is not here."

In the face of the stiff tone, Viscount Little was not annoyed at all.

"What about Lord Sivalka?"

He laughed.

"What do you want to do?"

The inquiry of the contact aroused the vigilance of young people.

"Don't worry, I have no ill will."

"My reputation is not good, but it is not bad."

"In the same way, no one can pretend to be me, and the soldiers behind you can prove my identity."

As he spoke, Viscount Little walked to the carriage and pointed to the Etandine soldiers not far away.

Rogett frowned as he looked at the soldiers who saluted Little from afar.

Not in doubt.

With the identity of Lord Colin's royal heir coming out, the soldiers here can almost be regarded as their own, and there is no need to suspect anything.

He frowned because of the person in front of him.

Viscount Little's reputation he knew.

When they came, the honorable baroness informed them as much as she could of the people who needed to be watched out for in Etaninburgh.

Among them, this viscount is on the list.

Of course, more important is Sivalka's reminder.

Beware of the old school, they may have bad intentions! ’

Sivalka relayed his own experience at that time and the habitual methods of the old school, saying that it was an exaggeration to say that it was unscrupulous, after all, the other party still wanted the face of the nobility.

But to say that there is morality, pay attention to the rules of knighthood?

That's really a joke.

Ghosts don't believe it.

The young man was tempted to drive the other away.

However, thinking of the bishop's instructions when he left, he did not do so.

"Wait a minute."

The young man spoke in a cold tone, turned and walked towards the camp.

In the increasingly well-established camp, Sivalka is changing Ellie's frostbite medication.

"Good recovery!"

Seeing that the bruises on his little hands had dissipated for the most part, Sivarka couldn't help but smile, in order to make Elle's recovery better, he bought the most expensive frostbite medicine.

Now it seems that it is the choice to take.

"It's about two or three days before it recovers."

"Ellie, you must not touch cold water these two days."

Sivalka admonished.

"But I need to help you with the work!"

"I don't have the strength to clean up the rubble, but I can wash the dishes and boil the water without touching the cold water......"

Embarrassment appeared on Ellie's little face.

Sivalka's eyes were full of pity and love.

If he had a daughter, he would never let her do such a job.

No!

He already has a daughter.

But if my daughter wants to do that......

As a father, he wants to support him unconditionally, even if it is in tears.

"Then Ellie, be careful."

"I'll go to the market and buy you a pair of gloves in a moment."

"The kind that can touch water."

Sivalka touched Ellie's head.

"But my mother said you can't just ask for someone else'......"

"I'm no one else!"

"It was Ellie, you saved me, you are my savior."

"I deserve to repay Ellie."

Sivalka said with a smile, and then, pointing to the distance, continued, "Ellie, go and help, everyone is waiting for you." ”

"Okay."

The little girl nodded, smiled at Sivarka, and ran briskly.

Watching her daughter's disappearing back, Sivalka turned around and looked at Rogett.

"What happened?"

Sivalka asked.

"What a good boy!"

The young man admired this, and then he began to face the suspicious, wary, hostile gaze of an old father.

"What do you want to do?"

Sivarka asked in a deep voice, baring his teeth.

"Don't get me wrong!"

"I'm just complimenting!"

"And, Sivalka, you're too nervous, not everyone ......"

"Boars in heat should be castrated."

Sivalka interrupted Rogett's words and said coldly.

Looking at Sivalka's serious appearance, the young man felt a moment of silence for the boys who rewarded him with the possibility of being favored by Ellie, knowing that it was very difficult to pass the level of Sivalka in front of him.

However, it's none of his business.

"It's old-fashioned."

"The Viscount of Little himself is here."

The young man wisely got to the point.

"Expected."

With that, Sivalka walked out of the camp.

When he knew that Etaninburgh and the heir of the Serpent faction were one person, he knew that the old school would definitely not be able to sit still.

He knew the virtues of those nobles very clearly.

"What are we going to do?"

The young man asked.

"Leave it to me."

"The Bishop has told me the approximate direction of action."

"As for the rest, I'll make it up."

Sivalka said.

The young man immediately fell silent.

First, the love and respect for Bishop Simon made him completely obey Bishop Simon's orders.

Second, the young people speculated that this was a test given by the Bishop to Sivalka.

Although Sivalka had already stated that he wanted to join the 'Mist' Church, the identity of the other party was troublesome, and the Bishop did not refuse or agree at that time.

Obviously, he was waiting for Sivalka to pass this test.

As a result, the young man immediately fell one step behind and went from walking side by side to following Sivalka.

He needs to observe the whole process.

At the same time, Sivalka had to be protected.

Although the nobleman just now looked annoying, he was also very strong.

Without the blessing of the crown, he would hardly be an opponent of the other party.

But with the blessing of the crown?

He can strangle the other with one hand.

Seeing the change in Rogett, Sivalka didn't say anything.

And rightfully so.

If he wants to safely throw himself from the 'Temple of War' into the arms of the 'Mist' Church, he must show his ability, otherwise, how can he be protected?

If it's usual, forget it, it's a big deal for him to go to the border and live incognito.

But with Ellie?

He's going to give it his all.

……

Viscount Little, who was standing outside the camp, suddenly felt a little cold.

Looking up at the still bright sunshine, the old-fashioned nobleman couldn't help but shake his head.

Winter in Hokuriku is really terrible.

Even in Etaninburgh is no exception.

Over the years, he has been accustomed to going to the south for the winter, and he has begun to get used to the winter in the north.

What a damn new order!

At the thought of His Majesty's new order, the old-fashioned nobleman couldn't help frowning.

You must know that from the beginning to the beginning of the winter in the south, he has already invested more than half of his entire wealth in that warm place, farms, mines, handicraft workshops, etc., are all industries that he is willing to do.

Not only him, but Valentine as well.

Even the small and medium-sized nobles behind the two of them were like this.

In the event of a war in the South......

He could well imagine what would become of their investment.

Therefore, this new order is not simply a matter of 'noble glory' and 'land', but also a matter of survival for each of their families.

These are......

There is absolutely no way to give in!

In an instant, Viscount Little's gaze became sharp and sharp.

However, the next moment, it turned into a smile again.

He saw Roggett returning, and Sivalka in sight.

"Good morning, Sivalka."

As he spoke, Viscount Little took two steps forward as a greeting to show his sincerity.

Sivalka didn't have much, and he wasn't flattered, as if he had seen an ordinary friend, he walked over and said with a smile: "Your Excellency, good morning." ”

"I'm sorry, Lord Sivalka."

"Yesterday's events caused you to have an unnecessary misunderstanding."

"I'm here today with sincerity."

As he spoke, Viscount Lear gestured to the carriage.

The driver immediately opened the door.

Suddenly, Sivalka and Rogett narrowed their eyes.

A golden glow shone on the two of them.

It took a while for the two to return to normal.

Sivalka didn't need to count them, he only had to glance at the box to know that it contained 2,000 Kimptons.

Among the nobles, in addition to being strong and high-grade, the specifications of the Kimpton boxes were also constant.

It seems that this is the only way to show their difference.

Faced with 2,000 Kimpton, if it was before meeting Ellie, Sivalka would definitely be excited.

And now?

It's definitely not enough.

It's not just Bishop Simon's task.

And also......

He's going to raise a daughter!

That's a lot of money!

As for Rogett?

I didn't even take a second look.

Even, just now, when the golden light was shining, the young man was clutching his axe, fearing that someone would attack.

Viscount Little had been observing the expressions of the two while the coachman was guarding the door, and when he saw the indifference of the two, the old-fashioned nobleman's heart couldn't help but sink.

While scolding Valentine's men for their bad behavior, he smiled and pointed to the carriage again.

"Sivalka, I found two nice antiquities earlier, would you be interested in admiring them?"

Viscount Little asked.

"Of course."

"However, two are too few."

"It would be better if there was a little more."

Sivalka nodded, and without the invitation of Viscount Little, he strode towards the carriage.

Bishop Simon's command is to 'slaughter the fat sheep'!

So what else does he have to be polite?

Don't let the other party feel so distressed that he is distorted, he is a younger brother.

Looking at Sivalka, who walked to the carriage on his own and looked at everything in the carriage, the smile on Viscount Little's face remained unchanged, but he was scolding in his heart.

The attitude of the other party says it all.

If you want to get past yesterday's events, you're going to have to bleed.

He, don't want to.

But no.

Because behind the other party stood a person they didn't want to provoke for the time being.

The identity of Etandine and the heir of the Snake Sect is really terrifying.

Although they still have a backhand......

Maybe it doesn't move, but it's better not to move.

The best is to have your hole cards in your hand.

If it is played, then there is really no room for maneuver.

I comforted myself like this from the bottom of my heart.

But Sivalka's words almost made Viscount Little draw his sword and hack the other party to death.

"It's a good carriage."

"The stuff in there is good, too."

"Two more carriages like this and the contents of them!"

Sivalka said lightly.

Although he wanted to kill Sivalka, Viscount Little was still trying to maintain his aristocratic demeanor.

"Really?"

"Two more?"

"Okay, I'll have someone deliver it at noon."

Viscount Little said with a smile.

Seeing that Viscount Little agreed to come down with a mouthful, Sivalka was obviously stunned.

Broken!

Less!

His heart was full of chagrin, but it was really inappropriate to regret it at this time.

Therefore, it can only be a nod full of remorse.

Viscount Little saw such chagrin and remorse.

His hand was already gripping the hilt of the sword.

Can't hack him to death!

Can't hack him to death!

Can't hack him to death!

Viscount Little, who had been warning himself to keep smiling, was bleeding from the bottom of his heart.

As a hereditary aristocracy, the Little family is naturally extremely rich, but after almost all of their net worth is invested in the south, after taking out these things, they are really going bankrupt.

However, as long as the heir is stabilized for the time being, it will be fine.

Afterwards?

Viscount Little sneered.

Thinking of this, Viscount Little, who didn't want to stay long at all, boarded the carriage and left.

At this time, Rogett, who had been silent, blocked directly in front of the car door.

"It's ours."

The young man said righteously.

Viscount Little: ......
