"Butler, hasn't His Majesty replied yet?"

"Yes, my lord, the messenger has not returned, and no other message has been delivered..."

"That's right..."

The new owner of Rose Ridge, the young Eagle Earl Akara, listened to the bad news and looked at the haggard figure of the old butler who had been taking care of him, and suddenly sighed in his heart. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

"It's already the fifteenth day, could it be that the kingdom has really given up on the Eagle Family?"

This made him angry and extremely sad.

Angry at the betrayal and indifference of the greedy, lamenting his own powerlessness.

Since he succeeded to the title of earl, the situation in Rose Ridge has deteriorated, with former allies betraying one by one, and black hands setting off countless waves in the shadows.

At the same time, there were those powerful enemies eyeing him, and the extremely unfavorable situation made him anxious, and a feeling of despair began to spread in his heart.

"Could it be that the Eagle Family is really hopeless?"

Thinking of this, he Akara, who hadn't slept for three days, suddenly felt dizzy, and collapsed directly on the huge stool.

The people of this world attach no importance to family inheritance to a degree that can be imagined on the modern earth.

As an illegitimate son who has never really met his father, Akara may not have any real feelings for the Eagle family and the entire Rose Ridge, but the glory from the bloodline of the family will still make him attach great importance to everything about the Rose Ridge that his ancestors have inherited to this day.

Since taking over, he has only rested for less than an hour every day, and has devoted as much time as possible to analyzing the situation, finding allies, discussing options, and so on.

The already emaciated body has lost at least ten pounds in just a few months, and it can be blown down if the wind is a little stronger!

Even the old butler was moved by this immature young man, and cooperated with all his might, and even ordinary slaves in the entire castle had a belief that they wanted to die and be reborn!

However, fate is so cruel.

Even if he has given everything he can think of to do, he is still powerless.

At this moment, the body, which can only be described as delicate, became more and more slender and powerless against the backdrop of the wide seat that represented power. People can't help but worry about whether the heavy pressure will break his fragile shoulders.

The old butler, who had served three generations of earls, couldn't help but comfort when he saw this scene:

"Rest assured, Lord Earl, His Majesty will not allow Duke Krent to annex us!"

But in reality, he himself did not believe in this statement.

If the king wanted to make a move, he would have reacted when something happened to the old earl's family!

It's been so long, and the royal family still doesn't care about the matter of the Rose Collar, which makes him feel cold...

Just when the master and servant were speechless, a cautious knock suddenly sounded in the silent room, which made Count Acala stunned.

"Come in!"

It was a young maid from the castle, who timidly saluted the Count and the old butler.

"My lord, the guards just reported that a female thief professional has just handed over a letter of worship."

"Huh? Please... Who else will visit at this time? ”

Instantly going through the nobles and merchants in the city, and finding no possible targets, Akara reached out and took the prayer note from the maid's hand.

However, at first glance, he was taken aback, because this golden prayer card was not only made of pure gold, but even had magic enchantments similar to closed runes and cleansing runes attached to it!

Although these simple enchantments can only serve the purpose of keeping it clean and confirming that it has not been secretly opened before, there is no additional effect, but the materials are not cheap at all.

The cost of this chapter alone is at least one or two hundred gold coins, which is worth the output of some remote fiefdoms for a year.

Even the Eagle family is difficult to have this kind of luxury in its heyday, which can no longer be described as burning money, it is simply the loser of Chiguoguo!

"Who the hell is here? To the east, to the south... Or Wangcheng? ”

With the curiosity in his heart, a small cloud of faint blue light floating a centimeter away from Bai Ti lifted the seal, and the thin thread-like energy chains around the golden paper suddenly shattered and dissipated, turning into a string of beautiful stars.

There wasn't much on it, just a few lines, but after reading it, the young earl gasped.

"Blackstone Ridge? Old friend? ”

In an instant, a formidable figure suddenly appeared in his mind.

Of course, there was also the only valuable blood jade on his body at the beginning.

"Could it be him..."

His eyes flickered, and Akara thought as he said as he handed the things in his hand to the old butler beside him.

After reading it quickly, the old housekeeper's eyes widened in shock, and he subconsciously exclaimed:

"How is that possible! That powerful mage is the new Baron Blackstone?! ”

Are you kidding! According to the intelligence, isn't the trusted Baron Blackstone the same as his own earl, a recovered scattered bloodline, a mage apprentice?

And how powerful that mysterious mage was at the beginning, he knew too well that he had seen it with his own eyes.

Judging from the strength shown by the other party, at least a high-level mage, maybe even an archmage respected by a king, how could the two be the same person!

However, he soon remembered some "rumors" that he had ignored because there were too many things

"Master, I really want to ring, some lords who participated in the foreign war a while ago used to spread that the Blackstone Ridge in the west of us has given birth to more than a hundred paladins in one go, and the Blackstone Baron is also an extremely powerful mage!"

In this era when communication is not developed, there are many similar remarks with exaggeration and not knowing whether they are true or false, but this one involves his own little brother all along, and the old housekeeper is barely a little impressed.

"At that time, the family's attention was not on this, and the intelligence network was completely paralyzed, so there was no way to confirm these things, so I took these exaggerated statements as nonsense rumors, but now it seems..."

This is not to blame him, there are too many such similar rumors, and they are too exaggerated!

Not to mention how Baron Blackstone went from a mage apprentice in the intelligence to a powerful mage, what is the concept of a hundred paladins?

Even if it is an entire kingdom, it is difficult to cobble together so many paladins, let alone give birth to so many at once!

Anyone with such a powerful force is enough to instantly become a pivotal existence in the entire kingdom, even the duke who has single-handedly caused the situation of the Eagle Family now, will definitely not dare to easily provoke the wrath of a hundred paladins! (To be continued.) )
