"Information on the Cross family?" The Rain Man, hidden in his black cloak, looked at Shepis in a slightly surprised light.

Under careful scrutiny, this handsome, blonde burly young man gave him a sense of stability like a mountain, as if even if Mount Tai was overwhelming, this young man could resist with his shoulders. As an assassin who had already stepped into the threshold of the strong, Rain Man had a hunch that the young man in front of him might have broken through to a rank similar to that of the Sky Knight.

As for the other person, the rain man smiled bitterly, and the man in the iron mask was gone again, and he didn't even notice when the person disappeared. Thinking of his temptation, cold sweat oozed from the Assassin's back. He now finally knew why the previous head of the organization, who was also his teacher, had told him that they were probably only peripheral members of the organization, and had not yet reached the core.

"The Cross family is the emerging dragon pattern nobles in King Breland in recent decades, and this family has a kind of animal husbandry dragon pattern. However, judging from the arcane insignia of the dragon pattern, it is still a simple low-level dragon pattern. The Rainman spoke cautiously.

"To be specific. For example: the status of this family in the royal city, the family's property, and the external environment in which it is currently located......" Shelpis frowned dissatisfied.

"The information of the dragon-patterned nobles is basically secret, and it will be artificially covered up by the kingdom officials. It's not that the subordinates don't want to talk about it, but many things are just rumors from the outside world, and the reliability is not high. Rainman said, shaking his head.

"It's okay, it's better than nothing!" Shepis smiled and waved his hand, "Just say it, and we'll judge the reliability." ”

"Okay!" Rainman nodded, and began to tell the information he knew about the Cross family.

The Cross family was rumored to be half-elves of Vionor, but was later suppressed by Vionor's purebred elves, and the whole family migrated to Bryland a few decades ago. Later, because of their outstanding performance in the Northern War, low-level dragon patterns appeared among the family members, which attracted the attention of the Breland royal family, and awarded them the title of nobility.

The family's main business was animal husbandry and protective gear manufacturing, with several ranches in the northern mountains of Breland and a high-end protective gear shop in Intramus. In addition, there is a rumor that has recently been obtained, and the current head of the Cross family seems to have been in contact with the twelve dragon pattern families, but they have not been accepted by them, cutting off a major way to improve the mystery of the dragon pattern.

Now they want to follow the upper route of Breeland, and with the help of the power of the royal family, continue to improve the family's dragon pattern ability. However, this choice will make the Cross family the royal family, and it will no longer be possible to maintain the independence of the dragon-patterned nobles. It is rumored that the third prince, Brian, is the closest to them.

"The Prince of Breeland?" Shepis groaned for a moment, looked up and said, "Tell me about the royal family in Breeland." ”

"Bryland is currently in charge of King O'Nett, but there are rumours that His Majesty is not in good health at the moment. His Majesty the King has many children, but there are only three people who can really get the throne, the eldest prince Felix, the third prince Brian, and the seventh princess Leah. ”

A gleam flashed in the Rain Man's eyes, as if he already knew what Sherbis wanted to ask. The hoarse voice began to recount some of the secret rumors of the three heirs of Breland.

The eldest prince, Felix, was generous and gentle, and was supported by the vast majority of Bryland's nobles and ministers. At the same time, the twelve dragon pattern families in Breland have also implicitly expressed their support for this great prince who is good at networking. The possibility of his accession to the throne is by far the greatest.

Leah, the daughter of the Seven Kings, has a strong temperament and a noble status, and her mother is a royal princess of Orvendale. At an early age, he was baptized by Archbishop Philip II of Breland and became his direct disciple, and was a great magician in his own right, with the support of the Holy See and Orvendale.

The third prince Brian is a little unspeakable compared to his seventh royal sister, and his mother is just a royal maid. However, the old king of Breland liked the third son very much, and even when the third prince was young, there was a rumor that the old king wanted to pass the throne to Brian.

However, the third prince Brian has always behaved uninhibited~ and indulgent, and is considered to be just a prodigal playboy.

But five years ago, the royal prodigal made an unexpected appearance on the northern borderlands. As an ordinary soldier, he participated in the northern counterattack against the orcs, and he was a cavalry general.

After the identity of the prince spread, it caused an uproar in the northern army. He was unanimously approved by the Northern Army from top to bottom, and even some of the high-ranking nobles in Breland changed their opinions about him. The Cross family, who had participated in the war in the north, also began to move closer to the third prince Brian at this time.

After telling the general situation of the three heirs of Bryland, the Rainman successively introduced some information about other aspects of the Bryland Kingdom, and then stopped talking and looked at Shepis with burning eyes. The head of the Assassin Order had already had a premonition from Shelpis's inquiry.

"You go back first, and if there are any other orders, I'll post a mission in the tavern." Shepis pondered for a moment, then spoke again.

"My lord, can you let me see the Excellency just now!" Rain Man said hesitantly.

"This ......," Shelpith was about to refuse, but he paused, reconsidered, and said, "We still have something to discuss, you don't have a task at hand, you can stay in the tavern." If he wants to see you, he will let you know. ”

"Thank you, sir!" The Rain Man saluted respectfully and turned out of the dark room.

"Old K, what do you think? Could it be that this main quest will be a battle for succession? After the rain man went out, Shepis said in a deep voice to the empty dark room.

"Our main quest is never a battle for succession, and the environment in King Breland is not suitable for the five top teams. Otherwise, the damage to Breland would be too serious, even if the five major spaces were to engage in a space war, it would not be at the cost of destroying the historical balance of a certain mission world! ”

Xu Mo's figure emerged from the void, leaned on a sofa, and rubbed his temples, "However, the main quest should have something to do with this seizure, and we may need to choose a certain royal camp." ”

"Although our Assassin Order is not very strong in the plot characters, it has great prestige due to the relationship between the previous top team. Do you think the third prince Brian will issue an assassination mission to us through the Cross family? Shepis said suspiciously.

"Hehe, Brian has been hiding for many years, and he finally made a splash in the North. With his city government's scheming, how could he use assassination as an unpopular means in the battle for the heir. Xu Mo said lightly.

"What's more, the eldest prince Felix has many supporters, and killing one or two will have no effect on him. And although Leah, the daughter of the Seven Kings, only has the support of the Holy See, since Archbishop Philip II can become the teacher of the great magician, it can be seen that she is very strong, and it is extremely difficult to assassinate. But these two heirs ......"

"Old K, do you think we should give up the meeting with the Cross family and try to get in touch with the eldest prince Felix!" Shelpis's eyes flashed, and he said slowly.

"Oh? Why? A smile appeared at the corner of Xu Mo's mouth.

"The power of the third prince Brian is in the north, and the daughter of the Seven Kings Leah only has religious support, I don't think they have a chance to ascend the throne!" Shepis said in a deep voice.

"You're right!" Xu Mo stood up and paced a few steps, "There are only two ways for an heir who is not the first in line to succeed in seizing the throne. One is external and one is internal. ”

"Judging from the information given by the Rain Man, the old king of Breland is still a relatively wise monarch. In the decades since he took the throne, although Breland has had several small foreign wars, his fundamental national strength has continued to increase, and his army has also been tempered in the war.

Orvendale, who also belongs to the human camp, can only support Leah, the daughter of the Seven Kings, at best, and is unlikely to directly intervene in the battle for the heir to the throne of Breland. A single papacy cannot affect the succession of Breeland.

As for the interior of Breland Interior, the eldest prince Felix was supported by most of the noble and important ministers. The military power of the third prince Brian is located in the north, and it is beyond the reach of the whip. If he secretly mobilized the elite of the army into the royal city and staged a coup d'état, it would inevitably cause a backlash from the inherent forces.

At that time, not only the nobles of the kingdom, but even the Twelve Dragons clan will give up their neutrality, and the implicit support for the eldest prince will immediately turn into formal military assistance. Even the old king had to choose the eldest prince, otherwise, Breland would face the threat of civil war. ”

"Well, if we don't intervene, the third prince Brian and the seventh princess Leah won't have a chance at all." Shepis nodded in agreement.

"No, whether the reincarnation intervenes or not, these two still have a chance!" Xu Mo narrowed his eyes slightly, and a strange brilliance flashed in his eyes, "And I feel that the extra opportunities given by the five major spaces to the weak team are also hidden in it." If my guess is correct, within tomorrow the skeletons will receive another bootstrap mission......"

"Tomorrow? That is, the deadline for a meeting with the Cross family? Shelpis said angrily with a straight face, "Are you not going to tell me?" Wise men are like this, gods and gods chatter, and they don't reveal their hole cards until the end. ”

"I'm not not telling you, isn't it that the intelligence is not enough?" Xu Mo was embarrassed and spread his hands helplessly.

"It doesn't matter, anyway, I can afford to wait for a day! Tomorrow you have to speak your judgment and analysis, though, and I can't keep the team in the unknown! Shepis lay lazily on the couch and poured his wine depressedly.

"Hey, why are you lying down? It's time for us to go to the Cross family! ”

"Didn't you say you wanted tomorrow?" Shepis looked at the young man in surprise.

"I just said that tomorrow you may receive another guidance mission, not to mention not going to meet with the Cross family!" Xu Mo said with a smile, "Talk to them first, as for accepting the task or not, those are two different things, I also need them to help me confirm some things!" ”
