"Uncle? Uncle, why don't you talk again? Uncle, are you wandering again? ”

Gawain's wandering was interrupted by a crisp voice coming from beside him, and when he looked back, he saw Patty standing beside him, looking up at him with her head tilted up, her big eyes full of curiosity.

"Just remembering something," Gawain said casually, then shook his head with a smile, "By the way, that sister Serena who usually takes care of you, how did you meet?" ”

He knew that this was probably the most dangerous question he had asked today.

The so-called "Sister Serena" is almost certainly Selena back then? Gelfen, based on the cheerful personality of Little Patty and her relationship with "Sister Serena", it is very likely that she will turn back to Selena? Gehr Fen brought up himself, brought up the "strange question" he asked, so Selena? Is the Gehr branch skeptical? Will she be aware that an unknown Eternal Sleeper is watching her?

After a quick weigh-up, Gawain decided that the risk was acceptable.

His identity has not been revealed, and he is now a completely normal Sleeper who is active in a psychic network, so Selena? There was no reason for Geldon to be extra wary or concerned about him, so it wasn't too strange for a perfectly normal Sleeper to talk to Patty and accidentally ask him why he knew a big man in the church.

And even if Serena? Gehr Fen has become concerned about himself, and there is nothing to worry about if he wants to track it down - the current psychic network does not yet have mature address tracking and user management technology, and even the high-level church can only lock down the congregants near them through a very primitive, search-sensing brainwave method, so Selena? It is impossible for Gelfen to lock down Gawain.

If one day the Eternal Sleepers have established a full-fledged address tracking and user management system...... Then Gawain doesn't have to worry about it, because the system is made by himself, and it's all over the backdoor......

So he asked the question in a seemingly relaxed tone after a very serious weigh-in.

Patty didn't think much of it at all, and she happily replied, "I first came here because Sister Serena was taking care of me!" She said she was my 'guide'! ”

Gao Wen frowned: "The one who leads the way? What road to take? ”

"I don't quite understand," Patty shook her head, "Sister Serena said that I have a very special gift, so I need someone to teach me so that I can be a very useful person in the future...... But she didn't teach me anything. ”

A very special talent? Did the Sleeper absorb this little girl into the network because of some of her talents?

So this Patty isn't really a normal Sleeper......

Gawain then asks the girl how she got into the network in the first place, and who introduced or guided her, but Patty seems confused about these - she doesn't seem to remember how she first entered the network.

Either her memories in this area were tampered with, or she was unknowingly led into the network by someone or some people.

Either way, Gawain felt that it was best not to continue asking about it: if Patty's memories had been manipulated by the Sleeper, the more he asked, the more likely he was to arouse suspicion.

After saying goodbye to Patty, Gawain leaves the Mind Network of the Eternal Sleepers.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he ...... Well, this time he didn't see Amber's face plate pestle in front of him.

What he saw was Rebecca and Amber's faces.

The old ancestor suddenly opened his eyes and startled Rebecca, and the roe deer spirit jumped out two meters away on the spot, and exclaimed: "Wow! Ancestors wake up! ”

Gawain's first reaction when he saw Rebecca's startled state was to quickly take his hand back from the table - because he still remembered the last time he suddenly woke up and scared Rebecca, what the girl's reaction was, and the feeling of the "Ancestral Rest" stick was still fresh in his memory......

Then he realized that something was wrong, raised his eyes to look at Rebecca, and then at Amber next to him, who was curling her neck and trying to pretend that she had entered a state of shadow stealth: "What are you two doing here?" ”

Amber was about to make up a reason to cover things up, but the hard-headed and upright Rebecca spoke first: "Amber said to draw a few circles on your face to see if you wake up - I don't think so, because you seem to be sleeping deeply." ”

"Amber!"

As soon as Gao Wen called out a name, the half-elf girl had instantly turned into a flash of black light and rushed to the nearest window, but she couldn't run out smoothly this time: Gao Wen had already mastered several emergency escape habits of this guy, and before she could touch the windowsill, Gao Wen had already reached out and grabbed this guy's ankle and carried her back: "I asked you to help me watch, you just watched like this?" Say, have you ever had ...... before"

"No, no, absolutely not!" Amber struggled to balance in mid-air in a thrilling, almost acrobatic pose, and then jumped on one leg in an effort to pull her ankle out of Gawain's hand, "This is definitely the first time I've had such a bold idea......

As a result, before she finished speaking, Rebecca dismantled the stage again: "She said that she wanted it every time, but she didn't dare to practice it......"

"If you can't speak, don't speak!" Amber glared at Rebecca, "I shouldn't have talked to you so much!" Haven't you been beaten since you were a kid because of this broken mouth?! ”

This time, without waiting for Rebecca to answer, Gawain had already given the answer instead: "You say this is to despise her - I heard Herty say that she has been beaten more since she was a child than you have stolen your wallet......"

After saying this, Gawain finally let go of Amber's ankle, allowing the half-elf to jump to the side, and then he turned to look at Rebecca: "Shouldn't you come here just to learn how to die with Amber?" ”

Rebecca seemed to remember that she still had something to do, so she quickly patted her head: "Oh yes! One letter was delivered to the territory, a griffon messenger...... No, it was a messenger on a griffon, and he carried the king's mark......"

"Messenger from the city of Saint-Sunil?" Gawain raised his eyebrows, "And you came here on a griffin?" ”

In an era of severe limitations in communication technology and poor road transport, the griffon messenger can be said to be the most convenient means of information that countries can master, and usually only kings, princes, dukes, and a small number of extremely wealthy or special nobles and organizations can afford to support such expensive "messengers", and only when they deliver urgent or special information.

So it didn't take long for Gawain to guess what the messenger's message was.

He nodded, "The Courier should have gone back by now, right?" ”

"Ancestor, how do you know? The messenger did deliver the letter and hurried away—I would have liked to have called a few more people to see the excitement, griffon, I've seen it a few times......"

Gawain looked at his Nth-tier great-granddaughter who had failed all aristocratic ethics courses rather helplessly, shook his head and said: "Of course he must leave quickly, because Francis II's griffin messenger has been very busy during this time, in fact, if it weren't for my big name, he would probably not be willing to let his griffin messenger fly to this place - where is the letter?" ”

"I'll take it," Rebecca immediately pulled out a sleeve with a pale gold Moen royal mark, one end of which was sealed with wax, "I wanted to see it, but Knight Philip said that this kind of letter should not be peeked at, so I must hand it over to you......"

Seeing the look of resentment on Rebecca's face, Gawain could guess how hard it had taken for the girl to endure until now without peeking, and he took the sleeve with a smile and took it apart in front of Amber and Rebecca.

Inside the sleeve was a scroll made of delicate parchment paper, with straps woven with pale gold and lilac threads—apparently more than just a letter.

It is an official instrument from the royal family.

Gawain unfolded the scroll, glanced at it casually, and threw it to Rebecca: "After reading it, put it in the collection room, don't lose it." ”

Rebecca immediately couldn't wait to look at the contents of the scroll, and after reading it, she looked up in a daze: "Ancestor, so you are the legal lord of the Kant Realm?" And the king also gave you a large piece of royal possessions to the east of Kant's territory?! ”

The contents of the scroll, as Gawain had speculated, were canonization documents from the royal family—or, to put it another way, royal "compromises" and "recognitions" of the fact that Gawain now ruled Kant.

When Amber heard that it was such a thing, she couldn't help but lean in: "Let me see, let me see, it's the first time I've seen a real canonization document...... Wow! The buckle of this strap turned out to be gold!? ”

"Need to be so surprised?" Gawain looked at the two girls in front of him with a little amusement, "As long as Francis II is not senile, this document will be delivered to me sooner or later - Kant is just a viscount, for my duke title, this is just a small gift, and the king has no need to be stingy." And as for the royal possessions...... It's a little giveaway. ”

As he spoke, he shook his head slightly, "I just didn't expect it to be delivered in advance—and it was expedited by the Griffin Messenger." I had expected that the relevant canonization papers would be delivered to Cecil after the beginning of spring, but now it seems ...... The change in the situation gave His Majesty a sense of urgency. ”

"A change in the situation?" Rebecca blinked a little confused, "You mean the situation between Typhon and Ansu?" Does this have anything to do with canonization? ”

"Of course," Gawain smiled, "the war between Typhon and Ansu is likely to be postponed, so the rulers of the two countries will have to consider resuming diplomatic activities, and it is very likely that the king will personally go to the negotiations, but the second dynasty will not control Ansu as much as the first dynasty, so in order to ensure the stability of the domestic situation in the next negotiation period, Francis II must appease or curry favor with the domestic nobles in advance." Whether it is the main battle faction or the main peace faction, he has to contact and ventilate, and I am neither the main battle faction nor the main peace faction, and he must also take care of it—because I am an ancestral faction, and His Majesty the King is always worried about whether I, an old ancestor, will suddenly jump out and criticize him. ”
