Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

Although the overall civilization process and social structure of the countries of the world of Telos are still in the Middle Ages, the printed material "newspaper", which symbolizes cultural enlightenment, has already been born.

For example, in the Ferredon Empire, there was a "Platinum Daily" printed by the royal family. However, the Platinum Daily is different from the usual newspapers on the planet, and is more of a channel dedicated to disseminating various official announcements, similar to Di Bao. Various reports of the Winter War, the Imperial Family's post-war response policies, and various commendation orders were disseminated throughout the country by the Platinum Daily.

A copy of the Platinum Daily sells for up to 3o silver coins, which includes the cost of spell copying, as well as the shipping cost of timely delivery with space spells to all parts of the country.

Although the Platinum Daily was too expensive for ordinary people to afford, Baron Monka, who was worth a lot of money, was clearly no longer in this range. He opened the door to the restaurant and ran out, quickly returning with a stack of newspapers and a dozen guards.

Miss Glasses Anna also followed her father back to the large dining room, and then immediately screamed in fright at the corpses lying on the ground and the blood-stained floor, and almost fainted.

Just now, when she pulled Gordon to hide in her bedroom, she suddenly heard the loud sound of Elhoka's sword smashing the table, and she was worried, so she hurried to the dining room. As a result, Gordon was uninvited, and then killed all the soldiers of the Winterclaw Legion without blinking an eye.

"High ...... Gordon...... Sir, you ...... You ......"

Baron Monka helped his daughter, who was so frightened that she could not speak clearly, that he helped her up, and then beckoned the maid to send her back to the bedroom to rest. He instructed, "Anna, Baron Freeman and I have taken care of everything, you don't have to worry. ”

After Anna was sent away. Gordon said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Baron Monka, for embroiling you in the conflict between me and the Eisenstein family. I don't dare to say anything else, but I can at least guarantee the safety of your life and property and that of your family. will be protected. ”

"No apologies, Baron Freeman. You didn't push me much, it was my own choice. I don't like the Eisenstein guys either. Al Hoka, a small aristocrat who is just attached to the Eisenstein family, is so arrogant that it is chilling. What's more, because of your appearance, at least I won't be extorted more than 10,000 gold coins. ”

What a miser......

Gordon smiled and shook his head.

Baron Monka prepared a quiet study for Gordon. So that he could concentrate on flipping through the Platinum Daily, and then he took the servants to dispose of the corpse.

Gordon read all the information in the newspapers, and finally understood what he had missed while hurrying through the Cold Mist Mountains.

In the official report, Earl Exxon and Derlington mistrusted the information and led the Wintertalon Legion into a trap, causing the fact that High Rock was easily breached by the orcs. Gone. The reckless, selfish, and disregarding the overall situation of the Winter Claw Legion actually became the decision of the entire military command of High Rock City. And the orcs attacked High Rock Castle and were on the verge of defeat, so it became a strategy to deliberately let the enemy into the city and use street battles to disperse and delay the enemy's forces.

In order to cover up his mistake and take the credit, Drington did not hesitate to tell a big lie. And. All the upper echelons of High Rock during the war: Rob. Grand Duke of Antelo, Lord of High Rock Castle Reso. Count Lloredo, Count Reinnarin, the leader of the Redstone Legion, and Count Exxon, the leader of the Wintertalon Legion, were all killed in the battle.

And the only living "qingren", Gordon himself, was delayed in the Cold Mist Mountains for five days because of a teleportation error, and missed the opportunity to expose Drington's lies in the first place.

And now, the commendation decree signed by His Majesty the Emperor has spread throughout the country. The course of that battle has been determined, and Drington has become a well-known Ferreton hero, a handsome and mighty Silver Knight.

Gordon knew very well that in this case, if he ran to the emperor. If he tells the truth all, no one will believe it, but he will be suspected of ulterior motives. Because Derington's current heroic status is recognized by His Majesty the Emperor, the Platinum Church, and many great nobles. It is impossible for Gordon to let them slap themselves in the face for the sake of the so-called "truth".

The skin of the "Heroes of the Ferreton War" has been firmly glued to Drington's body. If Gordon wants to rip it off, it will be impossible in a short time.

However, such difficulties did not shake Gordon's resolve.

After a hearty lunch in the hospitality of Baron Monka, Gordon rode out of the town of Kebli on his fast horse.

Two days later, he returned to the city of clear water.

Xie Ona took the two sisters Eli Elaine to the imperial capital, and the house was deserted, with only the couple of the cook Bud and the butler Ronnie left behind.

When the two middle-aged men saw Gordon, they cried like children.

Gordon didn't have time to hold a "I, Hu Hansan is back again" return celebration to comfort the two of them, and let them inform Du Luo and Forging Mo of the news of their return to Bishui City. Tiehe and other friends of Blue Water City. Then, he didn't care about resting and rushed to Rainbow Springs Manor overnight.

As Rob. Antelo's old subordinate and friend, Count Julian, the lord of Blue Water City, is helping to deal with the affairs of the Grand Duke.

First, there is the issue of the widow of the Grand Duke. In the Rainbow Springs Manor, there are thirty-seven Grand Duchesses. It was not easy to arrange their path. However, what Count Julian didn't expect was that when the Grand Duchess's problem was dealt with again, it was unusually smooth.

In the huge harem of the Grand Duke, there is no situation where the most common mansion will collapse and Lao Yan will fly separately. There were twenty ladies who were willing to give up their inheritance rights, leave with only a moderate amount of possessions, and return to their hometowns to live in seclusion. The remaining seventeen ladies offered to stay with Archduke Antello's only daughter, Faria, and help her keep the family business of the Antello family. After all, many of them come from prominent backgrounds and can help a lot.

imagined that there was a battle between the open and the dark, and the matter of dividing up the family property was actually not born.

Count Julian thought about the situation of his wives and concubines playing tricks on each other, and couldn't help but admire his deceased friend in his heart. It is a legend that a man can make all women die when he does this.

When Gordon meets Count Julian, he is lamenting why he doesn't have the charm to convince women. He glanced at Gordon, who walked into the living room in the dust, and said indifferently: "You're back." It took a little longer than I expected. ”

"The mountain road is not easy to walk." Gordon smiled and sat down on the sand opposite Count Julian.

The Blue Water City Lord didn't believe in Gordon's death in the Battle of High Rock at all. In fact, those people who are close to Gordon, such as her sister Sheona, Falia in the snowy mountains of Orlandos, and Dorne in the imperial capital, do not believe that Gordon will end up like this. They all waited quietly for Gordon's return.

After asking the servant of Mizumoto to serve Gordon a cup of fragrant coffee, Count Julian asked, "The official war report is all bullshit, full of nonsense from the Eisenstein family. I want to know what happened. ”

After escorting Rouge to High Rock and then attending the celebration meeting, Count Julian returned to Clearwater City to preside over many of the logistical matters. As a result, after the end of the war, he suddenly heard the news of his friend's death, which made him unable to believe it.

Gordon slowly told him all the things about Gao Yan Castle during the war.

With the help of fragrant coffee, neither of them felt sleepy. Gordon's account continued until the next morning, when the first rays of morning light shone into the room.

"People live for a lifetime, no regrets, no guilt, no lives in vain, no death in vain, enough ...... This sentence is indeed very much in line with his character. Count Julian sighed, turned his face red, and wiped his eyes.

He was wiping tears from his eyes.

A nobleman like Count Julian has long since learned to control his own feelings. If it weren't for the true feelings, it would never be lightly wept.

"Since the Grand Duke has left, then the next thing is up to us to do." After the lord of the castle collected his feelings, he said to Gordon.

"What is the priority?" Gordon had just returned to Blue Water City, and he didn't know much about the specifics.

"Naturally, it's to drive away those greedy jackals." Count Julian sneered, "The power vacuum left by the death of the Grand Duke has caused many people to covet it. Even Warhammer Lord Eddard. Grand Duke Stryker, and the Diamond Lord Bowen. The Grand Duke of Baratheon intended to stretch out his hand to the north. ”

"Two of the three grand dukes of the empire have all made a move, and it is indeed very troublesome." Gordon groaned.

Count Julian said: "After all, those two are powerful and well-established nobles, the pillars of the empire, so they are not too ugly to eat." However, the Eisenstein family almost wanted to swallow all the inheritance left by the Grand Duke, even the human bones. They have no small ambition and want to replace Rob. Grand Duke Antelo, who became one of the new three pillars of the empire. And most importantly, His Majesty the Emperor is now very supportive of the Eisenstein family because of Drington's connections. ”

"The triangular power structure is the most stable. In the past, the three Grand Dukes were in each other's hands, and the Anduin royal family was able to take advantage of the contradictions between them to increase their control over the empire. If the three Grand Dukes become two, when the conflict intensifies, the room for maneuver will become very small, and the risk of civil strife will increase. Therefore, the emperor's behavior of supporting the Eisenstein family is understandable. ”

"Your analysis is correct." Count Julian nodded in agreement, "So now, the Anduin royal family should be assigned to the side of the Eisensteins." If we want to keep the Grand Duke's inheritance as much as possible, we must sacrifice some interests when necessary to win over the other two Grand Dukes. For them, the Antello family is no longer a threat, but the Eisenstein family, which is developing rapidly, is more worthy of vigilance. ”

"Wooing the Warhammer Lord and the Diamond Lord, I agree. However, His Majesty the Emperor did not necessarily always side with the Eisensteins. Gordon said, his eyes full of confidence.
