The king of the northern kingdom was a middle-aged man with a straight face, and he looked a few years older than His Majesty Goethe of Sidney.

From the perspective of the realm, he doesn't look like a legend, which is very deadly, but I am afraid that his son will die of old age, and Goethe, this kid, can still be alive for a while.

However, this kind of thing is not Ma Lin's turn to worry about, as a guest, Ma Lin has met a lot of northern nobles under the leadership of this middle-aged man who is over half a hundred years old.

The northern race is visibly stronger than the southerners, maybe it's like they say, the result of the marriage between humans and the frost giants, or maybe it's the reason for the genetic manipulation back then, anyway, when he sees these big guys, Marin always has a breath in his heart that he can't vent - how can you all be so tall? I really want to interrupt something.

Perhaps it was the influence of the bloodline, Marin smiled very sincerely, trying to suppress the anger in his heart, until the old man introduced his son: "This is my son, Sauron Mannheim. ”

Looking at this somewhat shy boy, Marin smiled and stretched out his hand - for young children, Marin never put on a straight face, but for this old child, or something else, it was a little unknown to Marin.

"Hello, Honorable Chosen Champion, Prince Farol, Your Excellency Marin Gayat the Wise." This child said Marin's three titles as if announcing the name of the dish, which made Marin feel a little funny at the same time, but also felt a trace of sadness - the children of the royal family are really hard, but there is a good saying, if you want to wear a crown, you must bear its weight. This future majesty should have been tempered by this.

After shaking hands, Marin found a problem from the contact - the child's body seemed to be a little weak, I don't know what was going on, maybe it was a congenital illness brought out of the mother's body, but it shouldn't be a curse, after all, if it's a curse, Marin should have sensed it as soon as he touched the child.

"Your child is surprisingly young." Marin turned his head to look at His Majesty with emotion.

"The war and the accident made it easy for the Grim Reaper to take the other children from my hands." The middle-aged man, who was stepping on the edge of the old man, sighed and stretched out his hand and gently rubbed his child's head: "Your Excellency Marin, can we borrow a step to speak." ”

"Okay." Marin nodded, borrowing a step to speak is not to do anything else, playing cards is king.

So His Majesty Mannheim took his children, and Marlin led Lulu into the side hall, and the royal guards opened the door to the side hall for them, and closed the door for them after they entered.

Marin originally thought that His Majesty would have an opinion on people bringing Lulu in, but the fact was that he didn't care, and said hello to Lulu: "Children of the Hagelberg family, it's a pleasure to see you by Marin's side, it seems that the Hagelberg family has found a good husband for you." ”

"Your Majesty, you are too polite, our Hagelberg family has always been your most loyal courtier." Lulu replied with a smile.

"Yes, that's true, although you are still the daughter of the Hagelberry family, after all, you will be the wife of the Gayat family next, so you can also listen to what I say to your husband next." After speaking, the man turned to look at Marin: "Your Excellency Marin, you have also seen that if this country is a person, then he is too old to walk, his life has become full of holes, the nobles with evil intentions, the generals who are waiting to sell, and those mayors who fall at the sight of the wind, the northerners who are bent on establishing a republic, and even the church will choose their allies according to their own needs, and the Mannheim family has come to the most stormy moment with the princes dying in battle one after another, I need your help, Lord Marlin. ”

For this majesty to be so straightforward, Marin was silent for a moment, and then smiled a little helplessly: "Why did Your Majesty speak like this, your kingdom is not my Duchy of Farol, if you want to entrust your five sons to others, you should also find people from your nobles." ”

"Lord Marin, do you really think my nobles are so reliable?" His Majesty's rhetorical question made Marin fall silent, and in the end he could only smile: "It's really not very reliable, then again, what was your son before." ”

Under Marin's questioning, he told the cause of death of his four sons.

First of all, the eldest son, who died on the battlefield against Chaos thirteen years ago, an arrow piercing his neck from his side.

The second victim was the third son, who died nine years ago in the royal capital of Copenhagen when he was shot in the head by a stray bullet while assisting the police in apprehending a gang of robbers who had wandered into the area.

The third victim was the second son, who died in battle eight years ago a year later, and one of his warbands was surrounded in the battlefield, and the kingdom army and the noble army were desperate to save him.

The last was the fourth son, who was hit by a stray bullet on the battlefield six years ago and died on the way to the charge.

Marin's only thought after hearing it was that if someone from the aristocratic circle came out to shoot the target, then there would probably be a murderer who slipped through the net - I had never seen such an outrageous thing, and the princes of the Mannheim royal family died so carelessly?

"Have you done any research?"

"Yes, because I was so innocent, I found that the country seems to have long been tired of everything about the Mannheim family, including the heritage." His Majesty sighed when he said this: "You see, Your Majesty Marin, there is no one in this country who can be trusted, one of my eyes, one thought, and even one judgment will be captured by those rebellious thieves, maybe I will be the last king of the Mannheim family, but please help me no matter what, at least let Sauron, the child, not die innocently because of his identity, I know that this is the intention to kidnap you, but I really have no choice, I can only find you, and then beg you to help me." ”

Hearing this His Majesty say this, Marin's heart was a little melancholy-a dignified king had already prepared the ending of his family, and he could still face it so calmly.

"Your Excellency." The old man spoke again.

Looking at the little head poking out behind him and looking at his child, Marin sighed: "I agree to your request, and I will help you contact the Church of the Lord of Justice and the Church of the Goddess of Harvest, no matter what, at least you should be able to trust the members of these two churches." ”

To be honest, he didn't want to take care of His Majesty's family affairs, but his six-year-old child was extremely sensible, so Marin finally chose to pull him.

"Thank you so much, Lord Marin." After the old father finished speaking, he lowered his head and began to instill in his son how Marin would help him.

Marin turned his head to look at Lulu: "Your domestic problems have reached such a serious point, why haven't I heard from you." ”

"Let the southerners see the joke, although I am a member of the Hagelberry family, I am a northerner after all." When the girl said this, she sighed with some regret: "It is true that as Your Majesty said, the Mannheim family is in a time of turmoil, and the nobles are separated from him, and in the remote areas, the northerners are bribing the village chief and the villagers, and there are all kinds of people in the northerners, such as fanatical believers, or famous nobles, and they may be opportunists, anyway, someone in this country may be a northerner, and they will watch their majesty make a fool of himself, Then they swarmed up and attacked it. Lulu's remarks sent Marin to a sense of danger.

The country...... It's really come to this.

It was as if everyone was eager to destroy the country, to find all the resources available from the corpses of the country.

Among these people, there are noble idealists, pragmatic realists, and two-faced wall-riding people, as if everyone can not wait.

What a pity, Lord Mannheim.

Marin judged the situation like this—it was now very obvious from His Majesty's point of view, and everyone in the country seemed to be a little impatient to sit down and eat the royal family.

But...... These diners wouldn't have imagined that there would be someone who would come faster than their knives.

"Maybe I should talk to the head of Northernism once." Marin said.

Lulu was a little unimpressed: "Marlin, you can't find them, these guys are like rats, they can't be found." ”

"Do you want to make a bet?" Marin already had an idea for this, and a goal.

"Bet on what?" Lulu was curious about this: "You really think you can find them?" ”

"If I'm not mistaken, I think I've found one of them." Marin was already sure about this: "I'll take you to see him tomorrow." ”

After saying this, His Majesty Mannheim walked up to Marin with his child: "Your Excellency, if something happens to me, my child will ask you in the future." ”

"I'll remember the oath I took with you, but don't worry, Your Excellency, I'll help you." While comforting His Majesty, Marin patted the little prince's head: "Your Highness, please work hard since then." ”

"I'm going to be very obedient." The little prince said very seriously.

Marin nodded: "Trust me, I will protect you, Your Highness." ”

"I believe in Mr. Marin, because Mr. Marin is a big hero."

The child's smiling appearance made Marin feel that the child was indeed worth protecting.

Well, tomorrow morning I will go to see the bishop of the Goddess of the Harvest again, Marin believes that the bishop should know about the Church and the state of Propertyism.
