At this time, it was already April 25.

In one of the basements of the villa, a secret door was opened, which was a passage, which was so narrow that Ellie Liccock had to touch her hands.

Inside, a hall appeared, and in the center of the hall, an idol appeared, and this idol was a goddess, and a candle in front of the goddess showed a dim light.

"Uncle George, I'm here." Ellie said, lighting another one to make it lighter inside.

Opposite her, sure enough, it was the butler George.

George's hair had turned gray, and he sat across from him with some difficulty, without the deference of being outside.

"The news has been received, and it's hard to imagine that he has regained the Tafis Manor that we have long since lost, and that he has also killed George Verrell, as well as Secia Burcart, and has also secured the support of Wizard Isado Haggerty." Ellie said calmly at first, but later, when the next two names were mentioned, her voice couldn't help but tremble: "Back then, when Hannett and I were intimate, they once told me that there was a thing attached to him, and now, looking at what he did, it must be it again, Uncle George, you are also a magician, what do you think about this?" Do you say it's a demon, or a messenger of the gods? ”

"Hmph, I'm a magician, I'm just an apprentice who learned a little bit of basics from Isardo Haggerty, it's a demon or a messenger, I'm not sure, although I can feel the huge light energy on its body, but demons also have brilliance, don't they? At least for now, it was a hero against the Dark Earl, and with the support of Isardo Haggerty, it was clearly unwise to fight it. ”

"Uncle George, you are the person I respect the most, and I would not have survived without your help over the years, and I have never regarded you as a servant in my heart." Ellie respectfully said, "I hope you can give me further guidance on how to deal with this situation!" ”

Ellie's deference, George waved his hand and said, "I said, if the news reaches the territory and the vicinity, what do you say, what will the lord think?" What will the people think? ”

"If it is a lord, the mood may be as complicated as mine, this kind of powerful hero is not good for the lord, but every lord knows that if there is no turnaround, we will be completely defeated, maybe not many years, our castle will be in ruins, and this place will become a dark home, I believe that every lord will not act rashly at this time."

"As for the lords, their consideration is simply that for them, this hero is the dawn of hope, a savior-like existence, and now that darkness has been shrouded for hundreds of years, this power can turn everything upside down." Ellie said, her voice trembling slightly.

George obviously understood the worry in her heart, and he whispered: "Lord, our Licock family, was originally a viscount, but the constant war, now only a small piece of territory is retained, all this time, you have been working hard, want to restore the former glory, but there is no way to achieve it, now, this is an opportunity!" ”

"For most nobles, the appearance of a powerful non-family hero may be a distant danger, but for us, what do we have to lose? Now that we only keep the most basic noble realms, will this being be satisfied with this and not look to more and bigger realms? ”

"We have nothing to lose, but if we fully support it, with its current strength, we can expand our territory several times, in that case, why don't we form an alliance? In my opinion, this is definitely a rare opportunity in a hundred years, and its physical body is still our brother-in-law! ”

"Uncle George, please tell me what I should do now." Ellie said firmly.

"Although we have now been reduced to the position of hereditary knights, we were the viscount after all, miss, take out the family badge, divide it in half, give it to it, and let it form our branch family, so that it can appear in the noble council as a nobleman, and win the position of commander of the coalition, and we can get its spoils of war as a matter of course."

"Not now? Is it necessary to make so many sacrifices? Although Ellie had been prepared, she was shocked: "If we can control ......"

"Miss, can you control a man who slays a High Dark Knight? And, it has the support of the great wizard Isado Haggerty! If a mere knight of the family is not qualified to speak at the meeting of nobles no matter what, in this case, there is such a powerful hero, I am afraid that we will all be suspicious of all nobles, in this case, then why don't we go further? It has become a hereditary knight, and with the support of the wizard Isardo Haggerty, coupled with the reputation of the family and the hero, it is still possible to dominate the meeting, of course, you also need to contact other knights, I believe that the nobles will still agree, after all, there are not many M. nobles who exist now. Speaking of this, George said a little sadly: "Moreover, no matter what, its physical body, or the brother-in-law of our family, established a separate family, it is justifiable, no one can say, let alone be co-opted by other nobles, in the future, its children will still be the descendants of our family, and we, as the main family, will get a part of its spoils, it is also a matter of course." ”

"Alright then, but to divide the badge of nobility, you must also divide the territory, how much do you think we should give?"

"Just give it all the ones south of Apple Ridge, this is almost the minimum hereditary knight's territory requirement, but you must sign a branch family contract."

At this moment, there was a faint sound outside, which was almost inaudible, it was a message, it should have been eye-catching, but now, due to disrepair, it was only this little effect.

"Then let's decide so, I believe that the news will not be kept secret for a long time, and within three days, it will be conveyed to all the nobles, in this case, then we will hold a separation ceremony today, and confirm that there is another noble family on the land - Hannit Edin Liccock!" Now that the decision has been made, Ellie is very decisive: "And we want to spread the news to all the lords, I believe that the lords from all over the country will come one after another, even the lords will not be able to stop it, so when the nobles come, we will take advantage of the situation to determine the position of the Allied forces, I don't know how far it can go!" ”

Hearing this, George's expression became solemn, saying that actually, the Secia Burcart who killed him was one of the five high-ranking knights of darkness, and in the past hundred and fifty years, he was deeply feared by the lord, killed him, and wiped out his legions, which was the greatest victory since he was suppressed and beaten for more than a hundred years, but this victory was also a kind of blazing flame.

"What are you worried about?" Ellie Richcock was very sensitive, and immediately noticed the change in his expression.

"An existence like it will not come purely for the position of the territory and the nobility, I am worried now, it has won the title of hero and has been supported by all the people, how far will it go? Which messenger of God is it, and what faith does it preach? George sighed and said: "However, in fact, don't worry too much, for hundreds of years, the darkness has shrouded the earth, and the previous beliefs have been insignificant, it is said that three hundred years ago, on this land, there were still divine arts and paladins, but now, they no longer exist, only the simplest purification technique remains." ”

"This question, let's talk about it later, is not the most important." Ellie Liccock sighed when she heard the question, but she didn't pay much attention to it.

This is also the case, now the power of faith is no longer felt, and the persistence of faith and the cruel religious holy war handed down from generation to generation are only ethereal existences.

If it does not bring survival and hope, any kind of faith will die out in this cruel one-sidedness. (To be continued)
