Chapter 104: Dealing with Chores
Then Lord Cassikud was honored to receive a showdown mission, requiring him to send an escort to join Princess Elenia's escort and successfully send the princess to the Elok Empire. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
Cecil muttered in his heart when he heard this, any guard in the princess palace guarding the El Luk Empire can be done, and those people are all first-class powerhouses. Finding these dukes and earls to have a showdown with people is neither efficient nor good.; No matter how good the individual ability of the soldiers of the temporary escort team is, how can they compare to the special guards, the princess's escort is the top priority, this arrangement is both rash and troublesome, and there is no benefit at all.
Cecil mentioned the words in his heart to the earl euphemistically, and the earl could only say helplessly: "What you said is not unreasonable, but this is the meaning of the king, and we can only do it, probably because the loss of the expeditionary guards is also very large, and you know that the upper echelons are not very peaceful now, and the guards are not just decorations in the palace like most of the time, if they can, whether it is the eldest prince or the second prince or the king, no one wants to put the number of guards in the palace at a disadvantage."
The earl's statement reminds you of the recent rumors of the secret dispute within the kingdom, this explanation seems to make some sense, and it can logically make Cecil accept, but even this should not be so nervous that even the guards of the dignified Princess Elok need to be recruited, it is too unorthodox, but there is no need to worry about it, the king is not afraid of being unorthodox, and there is no need to worry about him.
Cecil now understands the Count's intentions at once, the Count is now that there is no one available, and since he has been allocated a quota now, if the Count himself does not go on this trip, Yellen is not there, and Ophelina has another task, then the number of talents under the Count is himself. It must be that the Earl wants to send this trip to himself, in fact, it's nothing, Cecil is not disgusted by this, it is not bad to go around the Arrow Empire, and he just wants to go to the Temple of War in the imperial capital there.
So Cecil happily accepted the Count's request and prepared to go to the Elder Empire. When she walked out of the Earl's Palace, Cecil happened to meet Ophelina, who was in the garden and was grieving, Ophelina's face was obviously very bad, and in the last two months she had experienced a great headache for herself, that is, she rejected the marriage proposal of the Duke of Martinez.
Duke Martinez is a typical car and house both parents died, inherited his father's dukedom at a young age, as a revelation he is handsome and powerful, and he is also very thoughtful, whether it is public or private is a well-known excellent person. He fell in love with Ophelina at the last ball and was attracted to her style, and proposed to Eufilina after returning from this expedition. This marriage is obviously high for Ophelina, and others are also very optimistic about this marriage, but Ophelina firmly rejected the duke's marriage proposal, without even the slightest hesitation.
Although this was only a small matter, but somehow it was passed out, the Duke was greatly disgraced by this refusal, and he did not dare to come out to meet people for a while, and turned to resentment towards Count Cassikud, who was also very distressed that his daughter had offended such a big man. But Ophelina, who has always been tactful, is extremely blunt in this matter, and there is no room for turning around.
Although Ophelina kept saying that the reason why she refused the marriage proposal was to dedicate it to the great god of life, Cecil first thought of the conversation with Ophelina that night, this woman would not really want to marry herself to Prince Maisar, so she rejected the duke's proposal. If that were the case, she was a bit stubborn, and the gap between the count's daughter and the prince was obvious, and it was an eye-opener that Ophelina had made such unrealistic considerations in this matter.
Cecil just glanced at Ophelina from afar, the recent incident had given her face a haggard look, and it was no longer so delicate, and it seemed that it would take some time to digest the matter, and Cecil decided that it would be better not to disturb the young lady, because he really did not know how to comfort her.
Cecil left the Earl's Court and returned to his home, and summoned Sanders and Old Man Bosa to advise, after all, he was about to go out again, Sanders obviously complained about Cecil's lack of promotion this time, but this time a large number of temple personnel were killed, and his second-order earth guard is estimated to be worth a lot, and the most important thing is that the duke he once offended lost troops in this expedition, and his power was greatly weakened. Cecil felt that he needed some means to continue to entrap him, otherwise he really didn't need to be his own soldier with his ability.
The old man of Bosa listened to the words of the poor, this old man had been refining Mithril with his teacher under the control of the devil since he was 15 years old, and at first glance he returned to human society freely, which was no different from entering heaven, and even the unpalatable black bread in Cecil's house he nibbled on with relish. For the first time, Cecil saw a master alchemist so easy to support, and he was dumbfounded for a while.
Cecil only left 1000 gold coins on his body, and gave all the gold coins to the old man Bosa, so that he could go to the market to buy some potion formulas during this time, the scarcity of alchemists has led to low-level potion formulas becoming rotten streets, these things should not be expensive, the old man Bosa has the foundation of a master alchemist, and it should be very easy to learn the formulas of those potions.
After a comfortable night's sleep in his own bed, Cecil got up and washed up to go to the palace to report to the relevant guards. At this time, a magic pigeon suddenly came, this kind of pigeon driven by magic is very convenient, and it will automatically decompose when it reaches Cecil's hand, and then at the same time it will send the information back to the owner of the sender, Cecil will see that this thing is Cabrada's masterpiece, and the person who Cabrada can write to himself is undoubtedly Annie.
Cecil was taken aback when he received the letter, and it turned out that Anne was already on her way back to Cabrada. Because of urgency, when Cecil didn't get up early this morning, Archmage Antonio took Anne on the road back to Cabrada. Because of the rush to leave, she didn't even have a chance to say goodbye in person, but Anne said that she would come back to Cecil soon after dealing with Kabrada's affairs.
