At noon, Moriarty flew to Rheinberg.

Because of the prior attention, Clausewitz did not publicize the news of the monarch's return in a big way, nor did he arrange any welcoming ceremony, but only informed the senior Olympian officers and a few old men.

So when someone quietly lands on the castle fort, the guard sentry almost thinks that there has been an enemy attack and will sound the alarm. It wasn't until he saw that it was the Supreme Commander who had disappeared for a long time that he was surprised and excited, and he couldn't help but cheer again.

"Everybody's happy."

The officers who heard the news rushed to the scene as soon as possible, and Moriarty was also smiling.

After leaving for more than half a year, Rhineberg and Olympus not only did not have any decay or regression, but the military appearance was better, and the castle's defense system was also improved day by day. Just a glimpse from the air, you can see a forest of strong "gust forts" to deter the four wilds. In particular, the arrow tower project, which is still being renovated, has left a deep impression on it, and it is almost likely to influence the trend of human castle construction in the future.

It's just that there is no sign of Haiyuna among the people who welcome her, and Moriarty can't help but feel moved.

"Where's Hayina?" After a brief greeting, Moriarty arranged for everyone to go to the conference room first, and then asked the old werewolf with a slightly wrong face.

"She fell ill, and as soon as she returned to Rheinberg last night she suddenly fell into a coma, and only woke up in the middle of the night. The doctor diagnosed it as overwork and agitation, and needed a period of recuperation. Clausewitz repeated the doctor's order verbatim.

"You go to the conference room first."

Moriarty nodded, turned straight into the Inner Fort, and trotted towards Hayna's room.

Along the way, many attendants were surprised to see the lord who suddenly appeared, and some even dropped the cups and saucers in their hands in a distraction.

When he came to the door of Hayna, he saw a maid standing there. And it seems that someone has returned. So when she saw Moriarty appear, the maid was excited, but not surprised.

"Open the door." Moriarty said directly.

“… My lord... The young lady has an order, saying that she doesn't want you to enter her room now..."Looking at the Lord of the Rhine in front of her, the maid insisted on completing her mission although she was related. Stopped the other party.

"What?"

Knowing that Haiyuna was ill, Moriarty was so anxious that she was almost impatient, and immediately the strong man was so imposing that the maid was so frightened that she leaned against the door and was about to slip and fall.

"I want to rest, I don't want to see anyone."

At this moment, a familiar voice came softly from inside the door, soft, strong, and weak.

"Haiyna. It's me. After a pause, Moriarty put down his hand that was about to push the door, took a deep breath, and said.

“… I know. After a while, the people inside the door spoke again, but it was only a very simple sentence, and there was silence again.

"Hayna, everything was my fault. But anyway. Please let me in and see you. There was no longer a trace of the so-called "dignity" of the extremist or even the demigods, Moriarty pleaded softly. It was as if the thin door in front of me was thicker and stronger than the copper wall.

“… You go, there is a lot of military affairs waiting for you. Let me rest quietly, I'm so tired. ”

There was silence for nearly three minutes, and then Haiyana said quietly.

After that, no matter how much Moriarty called, there was no response from the room.

Although opening the door is only a breeze. But Moriarty couldn't resist putting his hand on the doorknob a few times, and eventually took it back.

"Take good care of Haiyna. I'll come back in the evening. ”

Finally unable to disobey his lover's heart, Moriarty had to retreat temporarily.

The maid hurriedly bowed down and agreed.

It's a pity that after the high-level meeting with Olympus, he came back. Haiyuna still refuses Moriarty's request to meet, and does not answer no matter how the man calls.

In this regard, Moriarty had no choice but to wait patiently for her lover's mood to improve before trying.

At the same time, the news of the return of the monarch gradually spread in the Rhineberg, and Moriarty began to further refine and adjust the internal affairs of the castle and the configuration of the Olympian Legion to keep up with the changing internal and external changes.

In the past week, an army of nearly 1,000 humans has finally arrived from northern Kent, carrying lucrative loot and wooden carts loaded with demonic heads, drawing cheers from the fleeing civilians who have begun to gradually return home along the way.

"Finally home."

At the front of the team, Viscount Salk was dressed in weather, but his mood was extremely high, and he was almost complacent. Half a horse beside him was Charlie the "Dawn Light". Although he has been promoted to the Holy Hall for a long time, this uncle still does not leave the wine jug in his hand, and he does not delay drinking as he goes.

A little farther away, Prince Heber and Templar Robert rode side by side. Behind them was the Central Legion, which served as the prince's guard.

It's just that for some reason, Baron Ensberg was not seen in the coalition forces.

After marching for most of the day, the army bypassed Fort Maclelen and came to a halt in front of the former Southsk.

When he saw Sosk, who had turned into a huge crater, whether it was the strong men in the army or the ordinary soldiers, they were all stunned on the spot. Even though the shock flames caused by the hexic meteor had long since been extinguished, just looking at the pit with a radius of nearly a kilometer and the fragments of charcoal in the pit, one could imagine what an apocalyptic scene would have been when the terrifying spell fell.

"That little guy has really gotten so strong!"

Seeing is believing, even if it has been rumored to fly before, Viscount Salk still thinks that it is mostly false. But now that he was standing on the edge of the huge pit, the old man was so shocked that he had nothing to say.

"A fourteenth-level light ascetic... Hehe, if you really want to do it, I may not be able to carry both. ”

Charlie shook his head in admiration.

"Lord Robert, thank you for your timely announcement, so that I can enter Kent with Viscount Salk at the first time."

On the other hand, Prince Haiber also had a surprised face, which is extremely rare for him who has received strict etiquette training from the royal family since he was a child.

"Your Highness, with all due respect, such a powerful Grand Arcanist is already in the realm of the Super Extreme Realm. As long as he was given time and space, there was hardly a city on the Great Land that could resist such a spell bombardment. Therefore, please be careful and respond carefully. ”

After a period of communication and decent interest arrangements, Robert has fully fallen into the camp of Haiber, and immediately admonished.

"Of course. Such a strong person must be courteous even to Her Majesty, let alone me. Heber nodded.

After about half a day's rest at the original site of Sosk, the army set off again and headed straight for Windsor Castle.

"The Rangers spotted the return of the Kent Allied Army, which also included a number of well-armed Out-County forces, judged to be Standwell's army, but there were not many of them."

A few hours later, the relevant information was quickly put on Moriarty's desk, and Clausewitz suggested whether to reduce the reconnaissance range of the wolf rider to avoid unnecessary misunderstandings or conflicts with the other side.

"It's fine." Moriarty nodded: "At present, the demons in the county have been basically eliminated, and our enemies have also changed, and the wolf cavalry can reduce the frequency and range of attendance." ”

"Yes, Your Excellency. Further identification of the Fort personnel has begun, and with the help of the polygraph device you provided, we have initially identified five hidden members of the Church of Light, and three others were killed on the spot for resisting arrest. It will continue in the future. The old werewolf nodded.

"Polygraph devices are just small magic that can measure abnormal psychological fluctuations in the person being examined, and they are ineffective for those who are highly trained or powerful. So there is still a need to take other measures to ensure a safe environment internally, and of course not to disturb people too much and make people live in fear or anxiety. Moriarty exhaled lightly and stood up: "Come on, soon the invitation from Windsor Castle will be sent, and I must leave for a few days." ”

"Yes, Salk has returned victorious, and he is in full swing. Now that the royal family has returned, it seems that the day of Viscount Jin Bo is just around the corner. As he spoke, Clausewitz glanced at the lord meaningfully: "Your Excellency, your child must also be the future human real earl." ”

"Huh." Glancing back at the old werewolf, Moriarty smiled bitterly, and there was nothing to say.

Sure enough, three days later, a beautiful invitation from a new seal was sent to Rhineberg, inviting His Excellency Moriarty, the Lord of the Rhine, the Supreme Commander of the Olympus Legion, and the Venerable Grand Arcanist, to visit Windsor Castle to witness the promotion of the Salk family to the rank of earl.

And the messenger turned out to be Claudia.

"With the return of that Charlie's Church, and a Robert from the royal capital, I was swept away. If it weren't for your sake, I'm afraid it would have been my head. ”

Returning to the old nest, Count Blood was in a good mood and couldn't help but joke.

"Does Matiel have anything to say?" Moriati asked.

"She naturally expects you to hurry over, and it's better not to leave."

Relatively speaking, Claudia has always been closer to Haiyna, even if Matiel is also a very good woman. Perhaps this is simply due to the shared hostility of female creatures towards the "meddlers".

"She's about to give birth, and I really should be with me more." Moriarty nodded, and sighed softly.

"Then Miss Haiyna..."

Although she knew that she shouldn't talk too much about it, for some reason Claudia couldn't help but speak. So much so that the old werewolf glared at the Blood Count in disgust.

"She never wanted to see me. Matiel's pregnancy hurt Haiyuna too much. On the contrary, Moriarty didn't think it was wrong, but his expression was a little gloomy and a little tired, and he said lightly.

Seeing this, Claudia didn't know what to say anymore.

"Since you're back, go and accompany her, and by the way, see if you can subtract a few more years from the period of your magic pet."

With a wave of his hand, Moriarty smiled. The two then retreated.

Sure enough, even God is not omnipotent. Or is the human heart the most difficult thing for all planes to hold, and even the divine power is helpless? ”

Sitting back in his chair alone, opening his pocket watch, looking at the portrait of his lover printed on the inside of the cover, Moriarty whispered in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
