However, at this time, Andre was completely crooked, he didn't expect that the Duke would force himself to kill the killer for one of his rivals, he wanted to ask, but seeing the Duke looking at his cold eyes, Andre still swallowed back the words that came to his mouth.

At this moment, in Andrei's eyes, the Duke is no longer his grandfather, but the prime minister of the empire, a ruthless politician.

After talking about business, the Duke reverted to his grandfather's identity and cared about Andre's future plans. Andrei bluntly said that he planned to go to the northern border and train himself in the confrontation with the orcs, but the Duke had other ideas, and he insisted that Andrei stay in the imperial capital and find a position in the Guards Legion or simply in the forbidden army. Although Andre didn't know why the Duke was so insistent on where he would go after graduation, he was still very touched by the Duke's concern, and as a grandson, he had no reason to refuse, but he had to consider leaving Felicia in the imperial capital together.

"Tuk Tuk!"

While the grandfather and grandson were chatting happily, there were two slight knocks at the door, followed by a butler who walked in, and said respectfully to the Duke:

"Sir, Viscount Fabre outside the door asks to see you. ”

"Viscount Fabre?"

Hearing this familiar name, Andre couldn't help but be stunned, when Fabre and his son first visited the ducal manor, he came forward to receive him, but then Arman was injured because of the Nanshan competition, and Fabre and his son left Beijing gloomily, and then Andri never heard from them again, and now when he heard this familiar name, it was not only a little strange.

"That's right! It's the Fabre you've seen, His Majesty is constantly meeting with nobles from all over the south these days to arrange follow-up military reinforcements, of course, his territory is indispensable to the nobles bordering the Higg Empire, so he came again by order. ”

The Duke saw Andrew's doubt, so he opened his mouth to explain the reason why Viscount Fabre appeared in the imperial capital.

"Let him in, I have a big gift for him. ”

The duke instructed the butler.

"Grandpa, then I'll step back first. ”

Seeing that the Duke might have official business to do, Andre hurriedly bowed and retired.

"Eat with me at noon, I haven't seen you for a while, and your grandmother misses you a little. ”

Before Andre went out, the Duke gave another admonition.

"Okay, Grandpa, I'll go over and greet my grandmother. ”

Coming out of the Duke's study, André went to sit with his grandmother, the Duchess, for a while, and visited his uncle, who was suffering from a hidden illness. By the time they had lunch with the Duke's family at noon, the Duke's mood today was much better than the previous two days, so the two of them drank a few more glasses of wine.

When Andre, who was full of wine and food, rode away from Phillips Manor, the donkey-riding wizard Alan finally arrived in the imperial capital, first changed a horse in the market, and then did not even return to the academy, passed through the capital, and went straight to Zhuma Town.

Fortunately for Allen, when he arrived in Zhuma Town, Captain Mike's mercenary team was still there. The mercenary team that was supposed to leave yesterday, because of the Nanshan incident, the emperor ** team blocked the checkpoint, so they stayed for one more day, and today the order from above came down, and the incident has been figured out, it was the Nanshan volcano eruption, so martial law was lifted, the road control was lifted, and traffic resumed again.

When Alan arrived at the hotel, it was already dark, and the people of the mercenary team were packing up their things, preparing to leave for the return trip early tomorrow morning, although the task of this trip was not difficult, but the employer was generous, so the income was considerable, and more than a dozen people in the entire mercenary team were in a good mood, with this income, everyone could have no worries about food and clothing for at least a year. When they saw the dusty Allen, they couldn't help but be surprised, especially Captain Mike, who was drinking wine at the lunch table the day before yesterday, and Alan suddenly said goodbye, until now he actually came to the door again, which made him a little confused.

"Alan, is it that the little lover has run away with someone else, has nothing to fall in love here, and is now ready to go back with us?"

"Yes, Alan, come back with us, there are a lot of beautiful girls in the ancient city of Aogu, especially those who come from the nomads, all of them are enthusiastic and unrestrained, and I guarantee that you will forget all about the noble daughters here when you get to know them. Another mercenary shouted at Alan.

Although Captain Mike inadvertently said half the truth, Alan didn't have the heart to think about it right now.

"Captain Mike, I've brought you a deal of business. ”

"Alan, we've made enough money on this order, and now we just want to rush home early. ”

Captain Mike unceremoniously turned down the business that Allen had brought them.

Alan looked at Captain Mike with a satisfied look and couldn't help but think: If you knew what the people you escorted had brought to this empire, would you still be so happy?

However, Alan knew that this matter had nothing to do with Mike's mercenary team, because even without them, there would still be other teams to take on this mission.

"It's just a simple escort mission and won't affect your trip. ”

At that moment, Alan told Captain Mike about his idea of sending Rick Jr. to Iron Pine Town, although Captain Mike was a little puzzled by Alan's move, but he didn't ask much out of the professionalism of the mercenaries.

"It turned out to be such a trivial matter, just leave it to us, what kind of task is it?"

Alan sighed in his heart: If Captain Mike knew the true identity of the person who was going to escort this time, they would not dare to accept the guarantee of 10,000 gold coins.

And the reason why Alan insisted on letting the mercenary team send Rick Jr. to Isha in Ironpine Town in the form of an escort mission was mainly due to the mercenaries' serious and persistent attitude towards the mission, which would make Alan more assured of Rick's safety.

But after Captain Mike patted his chest and swore a curse, Alan finally believed him, and finally the two agreed that they would bring people the day after tomorrow, and then the mercenary team would pack up and set off.

After talking about it, Allen's heart finally settled down, exhausted after he ate something at the bar, he stayed at the hotel behind the bar, the next day before dawn, he set out on the return journey with the stars and the moon, and it took a short day, before sunset, Alan rushed back to the cottage where Carl and his wife lived, at this time he felt that he was so tired that he was about to fall apart.

Alan knocked on the door, and when Carl's eldest brother opened the door, Alan was about to ask how little Rick's body was recovering, but Carl's sister-in-law apologized and told Alan the news: Little Rick is missing.
