"Oh, Randolph, I can understand that, after all, he is a member of the Tiger Clan." Barr turned his head to look at Erin and said, "But the fifteenth prince and His Royal Highness are both royal children, and they are still the elder brothers of His Highness, will he not be able to do anything to you?" ”

"Hehe, brother."

"You may not understand that for those of us, affection is nothing more than the cheapest thing." Erin's face was also a little gloomy, "My father is a lord-level powerhouse, with a long lifespan, just now there are more than forty children, and there will be more in the future, the status of our royal children is actually not as noble as you think." ”

"A lot of the time."

"If it weren't for the royal face, my father wouldn't care about the life and death of our princes and daughters."

"Just like last time, the Sixteenth Prince was killed by the Tiger Shark Pirates." Erin's eyes flashed with a little coldness, "Father Emperor only killed those ordinary pirates, and those core members have not all been recruited and reused." ”

"The Tiger Shark Pirate Regiment was actually recruited by His Majesty." Barr was also surprised, this was completely inconsistent with the information he had received, and he thought that the entire Tiger Shark Pirate Group had been wiped out.

"That's right."

"The captain and deputy captain of the Tiger Shark Pirate Regiment are all leader-level powerhouses." Erin said, "It's just that a useless prince died, how could my father be willing to kill them, but for the sake of face, he announced that the pirate group had been completely wiped out." ”

"That's exactly what happened." Barr also knew it.

Leader-level powerhouses are rare in the entire Red Earth Continent, even if they are low-level leaders, they can serve as the captain of the elite legion, no wonder His Majesty is reluctant to kill.

"We have long agreed that if someone inherits the throne, the reign cannot exceed a hundred years." Irene said, "This fifth courtyard was originally a place of trial for the children of the royal family, in order to choose a future heir to the throne. Actually, these people we went in were all competitors. ”

"Oh, it seems that Her Royal Highness Erin is also interested in the throne." Barr asked with a smile.

"The lord laughed, my purpose is just the bloodline evolution pool inside, where do you dare to expect the imperial throne." Erin smiled slightly.

"Yes."

Barr said casually.

"This Fifth Courtyard is different from other places, and once you choose to enter it, you will be at your own risk." Erin continued, "Even if the prince and daughter are killed, neither clan will hold the murderer responsible, and my brother, born to the queen, will not be soft on us. ”

"Rupert and Rhodes, who entered the Fifth Courtyard this time, are also high-ranking leaders, so you have to be careful."

"Thank you, Your Highness, for the reminder." Barrien.

......

Blackstone West.

"Over there is Blackstone Harbor, the largest deep-water port in our Orc Empire." Barr and Erin walked side by side, and an old tiger man with a smile on his face followed by Erin, followed by several Royal Guard soldiers.

"Blackstone Harbor." Barr looked up to the south

Densely packed with merchant ships docked side by side next to the coast, it looks like a tall wall has been built, and it looks magnificent.

Huge magical machines are constantly in motion along the coast, lifting goods from the ground onto merchant ships. On the shore, the pilots are busy, one after another full of freighters are leaving the port, and some foreign fleets are also sailing into the port.

The merchant ships were flanked by armed warships guarded.

Maritime trade is not only subject to the threat of bad weather and sea monsters, but also to guard against elusive pirates, so these caravans are guarded by armed warships. There are guards from their own caravans on the ship, and more of them are mercenary groups and professionals who accept hire, and many mercenaries in Blackstone City rely on this to make a living.

Not far behind the Barrs, dozens of huge warships were parked in the mooring area on the shore.

The most conspicuous thing is parked in the far north, a large warship four or five hundred meters long, with the emblem of Black Rock City engraved on its hull, which looks like it should belong to the City Lord's Mansion. The small battleship in which Barr and Irene were riding was also among them.

Blackstone City is the largest trading city in the south, with countless nobles and merchants gathered, and many of them own warships.

"Lord Bal, wait a minute, I'll go over there and register first." Erin said with a smile.

"Okay." Barr nodded.

"Your Royal Highness, please follow me." The old tiger man hurriedly led the way, and Erin, along with the soldiers of the guard, walked into a tall gray building to the east.

After a while, Erin came back with someone.

"I made an agreement with the three of them to meet at the Babratot Inn in the North City, and the lord will please come with me." Erin smiled and walked forward.

"Babratot? Ping An Hotel. ”

Barr was slightly stunned after hearing this, and followed.

On the street outside, several beautifully shaped beast carts were parked, and a dozen lion soldiers and fox maids stood respectfully aside. After the two got into the beast cart, they quickly walked away.

......

Outside on the street.

"Well, Royal Guard, the one up up there is... Irene, the Eighteenth Empress of the Empire. ”

On the side of the street, a human youth dressed as a civilian looked at the team of animal carts in the distance, his eyes moved, and he dodged into a no-man's alley. Soon, a hemispherical magical machine was taken out and the message was transmitted.

The same scenario is happening in several other places.

There are forces from all races gathered in Blackstone City, and there are eyes of various forces everywhere, and those who come out of the battleship berthing area are basically big shots, so they will naturally be paid close attention to.

......

Inside the Ping An Hotel.

It's still morning, and there are only a few tables of customers in the store, most of whom are mercenaries from Blackstone City. And only these people who eat on the tip of the knife will come to drink early in the morning.

Three orcs sat around a table by the window.

To the south was a young man with cyan scales on half of his face, looking like a half-snake man among half-orcs.

The young man was dressed in brown leather armor with a black hooded cloak on the outside, and his bright yellow vertical pupils exuded a cold light. On his right hand was a beautiful fox girl, wearing a red robe, who didn't look very old, and was looking out the window with some boredom at this time.

Opposite the fox girl sat a tall and burly figure, wearing light blue chain mail, carrying a silver-gray round shield, and a black chain flail hanging from his waist. This man has a shark-shaped head, which is supposed to be from the Sea Clan.

"It's really strange, it's rare to see the Sea Clan in Black Rock City."

"This sea clan looks very strong, and the other two should not be weak."

"Don't talk about it, don't make trouble here."

At a table not far to the right, several mercenaries whispered, their eyes glancing at the three people by the window, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Leviathan, what benefits did Sister Erin give you this time, she actually invited you, the master of the Silver Shark clan. Haven't you Sea Clan always been reluctant to meddle in land affairs? The fox girl asked with a grin.

"Irene's mother, Her Highness Polina, once helped me." Leviathan urn sound urn airway.

"Oh, Her Highness Polina helped you? Tell me when this happened. The fox girl asked.

Leviathan was silent.

"Big man, you're really boring, I don't say anything when I ask you." The fox girl said a little helplessly, Leviathan is the strongest of the three of them, a ninety-five-level intermediate leader, but he is a stuffy gourd, "Hey, Doss, then why are you here?" ”

"Whoever can afford to pay enough, I will do things for whomever I can."

"It's you, little girl, seeing that you have the strength of a low-level leader at a young age, you can be regarded as a genius." Doss's voice was cold, "It's a pity that the fox clan is willing to let you come out to die." ”

"Send to death?!"

"You're not also a low-level leader, but you're a few levels higher than me, what's the big deal." The fox girl said angrily.

"I'm an Assassin, and what I do best is save my life." Doss said, "You're a sorcerer, not to mention slow, and you don't have much life-saving ability, so you can't run when you're in danger. ”

"You'd better mind yourself first, money-grubber." The fox girl looked at Dos

"Hmph." Doss frowned and stopped talking.

"I don't know where Sister Erin got these two weirdos." The fox girl said secretly, "I heard that there is also a Minotaur Lord who will come today, and he is less than twenty years old, and he has the strength of a high-level leader. I'd like to see what kind of character is better than me. ”

Just for a moment.

"Someone is coming."

Leviathan got up and looked out the window, and the two people next to him also stood up, but several beast carts were parked outside the inn at this time
