For Cecil, the most regrettable thing is that he had to clean up the vampire legions left behind on the city walls and not have the opportunity to watch Gonzalez defeat the lich Winter, and since watching Mr. Collins's teaching, Cecil understands that the battle process of any high-ranking paladin is a valuable growth for him. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info it's a pity to miss this opportunity.

Ten days later, Count Cassikud arrived here with 20 personal soldiers, it turned out that after receiving Yellen's news, the Count learned that the undead army in Wharton City had been repulsed, so he asked the adjutant to bring his private army back to the royal city, and he and Ophelina only rushed here with a few personal soldiers lightly, after all, mobilizing private soldiers to act in the kingdom is also a taboo thing in the eyes of the king, and the lighter this action, the better.

Since Yellen served in the Shield Paladin, he and the Earl father and son have rarely met, and this time the father and son are inevitably very happy to reunite after a long absence, Yellen and Fiorina are also very happy to meet, and Cecil is also a little envious when he sees the scene of the family reunion, after all, this kind of family happiness is also the most beautiful feeling of human beings.

After that, the Count affirmed the success of Cecil's mission, and the repulsion of the army of the undead was a major event that could show its face in the kingdom, and the previous secret mission to assassinate the acting official was relatively insignificant.

Count Cassikud then appointed a new local deputy, Cecil looked at the new deputy, a man who was old, ugly and weak, Cecil couldn't help but smile, it seems that Count Cassikud deliberately found a weak and incompetent person as an acting official before leaving the royal capital to facilitate control. If a "young talent" like himself really became an acting official, then I am afraid that the earl would be restless.

However, in the final analysis, it was Henry's acting officer who led the wolf into the house first, so the Earl's position can only be unsuccessful, and it is also black humor, although Henry disobeyed the Earl with the secret support of the king and even developed to collude with the undead later, but Henry had something to do with the Earl and wanted to take the blame for him. In the face of the king's strong voice, the count also had bitter words.

Therefore, although Cecil gave the earl a lot of credit after the war, the earl had no intention of applying for merit for him, because if Cecil was to be promoted to the title, it would mean that the earl's power would expand, so the king would inevitably hold Henry accountable for balancing, and the earl would be hit from elsewhere. In the trade-off, Cecil can only suffer some grievances.

When Ophelina explained all this to Cecil, Cecil felt that his head was a little big, these complicated **** were really not what he was good at, but the central meaning of Ophelina's words Cecil understood very well, that is, the matter of him becoming a baron this time was basically in vain.

"Cecil, don't be discouraged, your performance this time is well known to the whole kingdom, and your reputation has skyrocketed. With your current strength and ability, it is only a matter of time before you become a baron. At the breakfast table, Ophelina sipped fresh barley tea and said softly to Cecil.

Ophelina was wearing a noble lotus dress today, her long hair looked extremely beautiful, and she spoke with great femininity. It's just that Cecil was a little disappointed by what he said, but Cecil is not the kind of person who is born to complain, and this unhappiness is quickly forgotten behind him, after all, Cecil is most concerned about his own strength now.

Andy, who was sitting with him, was obviously a little dissatisfied, "This Earl is really calculating, and he uses Cecil's credit to offset his own sins. ”

Ophelina was also obviously unhappy with Andy's words: "Cecil is also my father's subordinate, and the king knows in his heart that it is not my father's fault either. ”

Andy snorted and said no more, just eating with his head down.

Cecil had obviously made two rounds, but then Ophelina brought up a topic that annoyed Cecil.

"Baron Kuresta asked me before I left to mention to you if you could restore the engagement." Ophelina said seemingly nonchalantly.

Cecil obviously can't accept this kind of topic, if he can understand the baron's previous divorce, then the baron's request to resume the marriage contract now seems to Cecil to be somewhat shameless, whether it is a father or a daughter, a dignified person would not talk about such a thing.

Seeing Cecil's gloomy face, Ophelina smiled and said: "Don't be angry, I know that you may be unhappy to mention this kind of thing to you again, but the Baron's love for women makes me still unbearable to refuse this kind of thing, if you are not happy, you can not answer, I will not tell you about this matter in the future." ”

"Actually, this is not what Talis herself meant, she has been determined to serve Lord Heronis for the rest of her life, and maybe she will become a sacrifice of the Temple of the Brave in the future."

Speaking of this, Andy and Cecil thought of Darcy again, and they couldn't help but feel a little sad in their hearts, and everyone was a little speechless for a while.

After a while, Ophelina said, "Is that new soldier you have recruited called Sanders?" ”

"Any questions?" Sanders' feud with a certain duke of the kingdom had always been something Cecil wanted to know, and Ophelina brought it up to make Cecil want to inquire with him.

"Actually, it's not a big deal, he used to make a certain duke very faceless because of an incident, and the duke had not inherited the title at that time. The duke, who visited him privately, suffered a big loss at that time, and the duke became the laughing stock of the nobles for a while because of this incident. So the Duke hates this Sanders very much, you must be careful with this person. Ophelina said to Cecil.

"It's okay for Sanders to be a personal soldier now, but his status can't be improved in the future, otherwise it will be difficult for even my dad to face the wrath of a duke." When Ophelina said this, her expression was already very serious.

Cecil saw that Ophelina said so solemnly, and his mood couldn't help but be depressed, it seems that Sanders's upside has long been sealed by an invisible hand, which makes Cecil feel sorry for him, even if Cecil develops and rises in the future, it is difficult for Sanders to be promoted, and Cecil's top boss, the Earl, will never offend the Duke because of Sanders or Cecil.

Unless Cecil could one day have the ability to compete with that duke, but Cecil would never dare to have this luxury now.

"I'll pay attention, but I don't think this duke will be haunted after all these years." Cecil argued.

"It's hard to say, this Duke is notoriously difficult to get along with, especially this kind of high-ranking and powerful person, who values face more than life." Ophelina said helplessly.

"I'll pay attention to that." Cecil verbally perfunctory Ophelina, but in his heart he couldn't help but worry secretly for Sanders, it seems that it will not be so easy to help him turn over in the future.

After breakfast, Ophelina returned to the Count's residence after the visit, and Cecil did not really have a good opinion of this woman, because she repeatedly made Cecil very unhappy about her marriage. But apparently he didn't want to offend her, the Earl's three sons were all absent for many years, and this unmarried daughter could be almost half of the Earl's home, and her opinion was of great importance to the Earl.

What's more, her position in the Temple of Life in the hidden profession is very special, in addition to the war sacrifice of the kingdom's first beauty Freya, it is the important status of this life sacrifice, Elenia has already made a marriage contract with the third prince of the Elok Empire, the Chosen One, so she is destined to marry into the Elok Empire in the future, so the kingdom Ophelina is even more of a pillar for the kingdom's Temple of Life and even the entire kingdom's army.

Therefore, Cecil still tries his best to maintain a good relationship with this woman in his heart, if she can become his own nobleman in the future, then the matter of becoming a baron and promoting to a nobleman will definitely come naturally.

Andy was not polite to this woman at all, it seemed that he had a natural prejudice against Ophelina, and scolded Ophelina's back, Cecil didn't expect Andy to be so hostile to Ophelina, and he was very surprised.

"This woman is so arrogant, she always gives people a feeling of being on top, which is annoying." Andy said with a frown

Cecil was even more surprised by this theory, proud women are generally more liked by men, and men rarely really hate women who are difficult to govern, especially the high-ranking ones, and Cecil's dislike of Ophelina is mainly because of specific things, not because of this, but because of Andy's reasons that make him feel strange.

Cecil didn't pay too much attention to Andy's petty emotions, the arrival of the earl made Cecil a lot easier, and Cecil and the new acting official completed various handovers. Basically, the task was completed, and the earl had to go back to the royal capital and return to the king after staying for 10 days, wanting Cecil to go back with him.

However, Cecil only allowed Sanders and the Count's army to return south, because Cecil now had to help Andy find power in the ruins of Boccab, the so-called god of magic and meliality.

This thing should have been done a long time ago, and this is also the main purpose of Andy accompanying Cecil here, but there are too many things that have happened, so that Andy's mission has not been taken care of for a while, and now Cecil's affairs here have been settled, Cecil and Andy agreed that on the day the Earl will go, the two will go to the south together to find the ruins of the God of Magic.
