Under the nest, there are no eggs.

Seeing that the two strongest forces in the Wagland continent were hit hard in front of the devil, an extremely strong sense of crisis hit everyone's heart, is there still a safe place in this world? This is a big question, so the idea of building Haynes into a solid foundation is unstoppable.

After listening to Charlie's explanation, the representatives of the town hall firmly supported the idea of expanding the Silver Knights, which also indicated that Charlie had subdued this external ruling team, and they would stabilize the situation in the city for Charlie.

He didn't turn over a few hole cards, and the change of power in Haynes City went so smoothly that Charlie was in a pretty good mood, but the good mood didn't last long, and a piece of news from the jade mine made him feel very uncomfortable.

Moments later, Costa and Brian appear in the study.

"Look at the news!" Charlie turned a piece of paper around and pushed it in front of the two of them.

According to statistics, 23 miners were trapped underground, and their lives were uncertain, and the cause of the accident was not found for the time being......

Since almost all of the miners were from the small town of Makoren and were the subjects of the Count of Galeon, the Count's spokesman formally made representations to us, asking us to give a clear explanation within three days, in harsh terms, claiming that if not dealt with properly, it could lead to a diplomatic dispute in the territory.

If they don't react beyond this time, their army will capture the jade mines and recoup the losses with their own hands, asking the patriarch to give a clear indication of how to do this......" Gosta's eyes were better than Brian's, and he read out the important fragments of the letter.

Brian said: "The jade mine is located on the edge of our territory, it is very inconvenient to come to Haynes City, the information is relatively closed, they may not know what happened in Haynes City recently, thinking that Brad is still the patriarch. ”

"It's okay, I don't care about his title. Charlie waved his hand and asked, "Who is the person in charge of the jade mine now?"

Without thinking, Gosta replied, "It's Stonefield, Bedwell's lieutenant, and he's stationed there with 30 brothers for a long time!"

If this was just an ordinary mining disaster, it would have been possible to send a senior officer of the Silver Knight to work with a territorial envoy to try to deal with the problem, but Bedwell and Davy had been on the airship to Minethil Harbor last night.

Charlie Mo counted around, and couldn't help sighing, except for Costa and Brian, there are few people around who can be trusted, but they are not idle!

Costa couldn't help but say, "Charlie, do you want me to go?"

Brian, the butler, asked, "Then do you know how to deal with this matter? How to deal with the people of Galeon? The Count of Galeon is a title conferred by the royal family, a real nobleman, with a territory and an army, which is not comparable to that of an honorary earl."

It's not that I deliberately belittle the Silver Knight, I don't evaluate the difference in strength between the soldiers under his command and the Silver Knight, just the equipment is a few grades worse, after all, one is a civilian standard, and the other is a military standard. ”

Gosta replied, "Let's see if I can investigate the cause of the mine accident and give the other party an explanation." ”

This is an honest person's way of thinking, which sounds reasonable, but in the face of a fierce opponent, once the investigation does not go well, it will fall into great passivity, not to mention that the other party is likely to deliberately find fault.

Charlie casually asked, "Uncle Brian, what do you think should be done?"

"No matter what new tricks there are in the game between nobles, there is no escaping a basic rule - it is useless to reason, it is the background and the connection, if the background and the network are not much different, then it is bigger than whose fist!"

It sounds interesting, worthy of being a steward who has served the Williamson family for half a century, and has some insight. Listening to Brian's analysis, Gosta scratched his head, saying that the problem was so complicated.

Charlie laughed: "There is some truth. ”

Brian thought for a while and said: "Lord Galeon has not spoken yet, the young master has come forward to fight with his men, it is too expensive, it is not suitable, it is better for me and Mr. Costa to go together! He protects me, I will deal with the people of Galeon, no matter what the result is, we can also respond to the matter first, and not leave a truth for the outside world." ”

It was a good proposition, and even Gosta thought it worked.

Charlie pondered for a moment, shook his head, and said: "It's not that I don't trust the two, but I always feel that this accident is a bit too coincidental at this time, the jade mine has been excavated for five years, and there have been several accidents in between, even more serious than this time, but at that time, Galeon never jumped out, this time his reaction was a little abnormal, so, I'm afraid this accident is not so simple!"

Brian suddenly frowned and asked, "What does the young master mean that Count Galeon has learned of the news of your entry into Henes City, and wants to take advantage of the chaos to rob and get a piece of the pie?"

Charlie shrugged his shoulders and said, "There is a possibility that behind any fortuitous event there is a cause that will make it inevitable, and this theory is called Murphy's theorem." ”

Gosta was a reckless man, who knew nothing about aristocratic games, and hated such twists and turns, so he couldn't help but say, "What a sinister thing! If you want to make a profit, you can take it with your ability! What are you doing in such a big circle?!"

Charlie smiled: "The game of the nobles is like this, everything needs a reason, and now the mining disaster in the jade mine cave has provided an opportunity for the earl, and he is waiting for me to take over, so it is very likely that you will not be able to solve the problem, only I will come out in person." ”

Gosta hurriedly said, "Then I'll go with you!"

Charlie shook his head and said with a smile: "Uncle Jim, don't you still believe in my strength? You help me guard the rear, Uncle Costa is in charge of the city's security, Uncle Brian is in charge of family affairs, you two discuss unimportant things and make up your mind, and press important things, and when I come back, with you and Uncle Brian here, I can rest assured that I can go far away." ”

Brian hesitated and said: "Young master, Count Galeon has some in-law relations with the royal family, and his background is already deeper than ours, and the Blue Eagle Knight under his command is brave and good at fighting, I am afraid that you will not be able to get any benefits if you go, and besides, the jade mine is located at the border of the territory after all, as the head of the family, it is not suitable for you to risk your life!"

Charlie smiled mysteriously and said, "You don't have to be presumptuous, we don't have no background! Don't forget that I am now a pioneer knight under the Prince, and if he thinks he can scare me, I will respond to his provocation with a war!"

Gosta was shocked and asked, "Then Charlie, how many silver knights are you going to take with you?"

Charlie muttered, "Help me pick 10 reliable people! I plan to focus on cultivating a group of middle-level officers who are loyal to me, otherwise if something happens in the territory, I will have to use you, or Bedwell, it will be a bit of a rush." ”

Costa nodded, and then asked, "Ten is enough?!"

"Uncle Jim, whoever wants to deal with me through a group fight, that's definitely him thinking too much!"

Costa and Brian let out a good-natured laugh.

......

Soon, 10 veterans of the Silver Knight were selected, they did not know what they were selected for, and Gosta simply explained to them that he would protect the new head of the Pavel family along the way, and assist him in dealing with the mining dispute with the Count of Galeon.

The moon and stars were scarce, and 11 horses stepped out of the city in the night.

"My lord, why don't we stay in Haynes for one night and leave early tomorrow morning? You should know that the Elwyn Glade is dangerous at night, and some predatory monsters like to forage at night. "Martell is the highest-ranking member of the Silver Knight veteran squad, and he consciously fits into the role of captain of the guard.

"I'm not afraid, what are you afraid of?"

"No, we are not afraid of death, as silver knights, we are ready to sacrifice for the lord at any time, what we are afraid of is that we will not be able to complete the task of protecting the lord and live up to the expectations and entrustment of the captain!"

Charlie smiled: "Very good, consciousness is very high, but this time we are in a hurry!
