Hearthstone.

The castle of Grand Duke Vlad Kimir.

In the living room, Li Yanbei and the other four people were leisurely sipping coffee, and all the waiters were waiting outside the living room.

I have to say that when it comes to the mellow aroma of coffee, the mocha in the Holy Imperial City is better.

It's no wonder that the Empire of Darkness is no better than the Empire of Light, and many things have just been learned in the past hundred years. As a rising star, he naturally does not have the foundation accumulated over tens of thousands of years, so many things in the Dark Empire are far inferior to the Empire of Light.

"That's coffee. ”

Nero took a sip, then pursed his lips disdainfully.

"It's not comparable to the grinding in the small shop on the corner of the Holy Emperor City. ”

Accompanying Li Yanbei for two months, Nero seems to have been hungry for the good things of the Empire of Light. In fact, the coffee in the Grand Duke Vlad Kimir's living room can already be regarded as the highest grade in the Grand Duke, but not only Nero, but even Li Yanbei and Jester feel that the taste is much worse than that of the Holy Imperial City.

After all, they have lived in the royal palace for a while, and they have eaten a lot of desserts and coffee from the royal family, so it is understandable that they have kept their mouths dirty.

"Shut up. ”

Jester rolled his eyes, as if disgusted by the conversation.

"I used to sit in a shabby bar and drink low-quality beer and touch a woman's ass in a small town, and I didn't see you so much. Going out and ruining your arrogance, you can't even drink the best coffee in Hearthstone?"

Collinder pursed his lips on the side, and then teased,

"This guy may have been in the aristocratic circle for a long time, and he also got the pungent smell of perfume on their body. I don't feel like a scoundrel of the Blood Clan now, but like those sanctimonious scum in the Holy Emperor City. ”

Hearing Collinder say this, Nero immediately retorted.

"It's not good, it's not good, don't you have to force people to tell lies? Also, you're a sven scum, you don't usually say much, and when it comes to scolding me, you can talk tightly. ”

"Alright, alright. ”

Seeing that the three of them were fighting again, Li Yanbei frowned slightly.

"It's just a cup of coffee, what a noise. Do you think this is in the dark? This is the Grand Duke's castle, and I have some rules, okay?"

Seeing Li Yanbei pretending to be the chief deacon again, the three of them rolled their eyelids in unison.

But they also knew that this was not a place for quarrels, so they stopped fighting for the time being, and prepared to save their energy to go back to the deacon office to continue arguing.

The three of them closed their mouths, and Li Yanbei had a rare moment of silence.

Thinking of the old man who had just entered the city, that feeling of unease swelled up in his heart again.

"I think the old man was the patriarch of House Fiona. ”

Squinting slightly, Li Yanbei was thoughtful.

"Looking at him, he seems to be proud. ”

Hearing Li Yanbei's words, Jester also became serious. He was also puzzled by the old man's sudden ascension.

"Yes, that guy's name is Prada, and he is the patriarch of the Kilkes family. Fiona was born into this family, and Prada should be her uncle. But that old guy doesn't have too strong strength, and secondly, he is not a descendant, how can he suddenly command so many soldiers, and there are blood-clothed guards to obey orders?"

"It's weird indeed. ”

Li Yanbei's face was slightly solemn.

"But since he is Fiona's uncle, his ascension to the throne should not be a bad thing for Fiona. But I don't know what's wrong, I always have a bad premonition. ”

Jester nodded, his face a little heavy.

"To tell you the truth, I feel that way too. ”

After pondering for a moment, Li Yanbei opened his mouth and said,

"I heard that Fiona's parents died young, and she survived with the help of her relatives. Therefore, Fiona has always been very fond of the family, and even half of the cultivation resources of the Bloody Guards will be given to the family. ”

Hearing this, Collinder snorted coldly.

That's a rhetoric to the outside world, but the reality is far from that simple. ”

Li Yanbei was slightly stunned.

"Oh?

Collinder is an expert in intelligence, and he knows Fiona's family well.

"I've seen the backdrop about the Kilkes family, and Fiona's parents weren't ordinary people. It is said that her father is the most potential genius of the Kilkes family in the past hundred years, and he successfully broke through the fifth order at the age of thirty as a blood line. And although her mother was not from a famous family in Hearthstone, her talent was similar to that of her father, and she was also a fifth-order powerhouse. ”

Li Yanbei's brows furrowed slightly.

"If that's what you say, Fiona must have had a good life as a child?"

This should be the case, but it is not. ”

Collinder shook his head faintly, a hint of compassion flashing in his eyes.

Shortly after Fiona was born, both of her parents were killed on a mission, and she was orphaned. The Kierkes family is originally bloodborne, and the family believes in the rule of the jungle. They are all for the prosperity of the family, and they are quite ruthless to the useless people. ”

Hearing this, Li Yanbei's heart couldn't help but twitch a little.

"So how did Fiona survive in the family?"

Collinder sneered, his face full of disdain. He seems to have a disdain for the Kilkes family's way of doing things.

Because her parents both served in the Bloody Guards before their deaths, the family has also saved a lot. And they died in the line of duty, and the Grand Duke at that time also rewarded a large amount of pension according to the rules. ”

The compassion in his eyes turned to mockery, and Collinder's face turned slightly cold.

"The Kirks family's silver merchant in Hearthstone is her uncle Prada who embezzled the pension that should have been given to Fiona in order to make it operate normally, otherwise after Fiona's parents died, where would the family still have a steady stream of resources and connections?"

Li Yanbei's face was slightly gloomy.

"Fiona's parents have given so much, and the last time she was in a desperate situation, her family treated her like this?"

Jester suddenly interjected,

"What is this, I heard that Fiona has not had a good time in the family since she was a child, you look at her cold personality, you know what kind of childhood she should have. ”

"It's disgusting!"

Li Yanbei put down the coffee cup heavily.

"Greedy for Fiona's money, and squeezed the resources of her Bloody Guards when she became an adult, and when Fiona fell into a life-and-death crisis, they ruthlessly abandoned her!

"Don't be angry, Lord Deacon. ”

Jester shrugged his shoulders and reassured,

"Anyway, it's all over, isn't it good for Fiona to follow you now? she is now a master of the sixth-order peak, and she can be regarded as having a firm foothold in the principality, and no one dares to offend her easily. ”

Hearing Jester's consolation, the anger in Li Yanbei's heart temporarily disappeared by two points. He nodded slowly, but his face was still cold.

Fiona's face appeared in his eyes, and Li Yanbei felt a lot of concern in his heart.

After all, they have been separated for so long, and after all, they have experienced life and death together, so Fiona still has a lot of weight in his heart.

"Snort. ”

Li Yanbei snorted coldly.

"If it weren't for Fiona's sake, I should have taken care of this Kilkes family and her uncle. ”

Jester smiled faintly.

"With your current strength, this question is naturally not a problem. As long as you move your fingers, the dark curtain will help you deal with it properly. But then again, when I saw this Prada today, it felt like he wasn't the same as before. ”

Li Yanbei tilted his head, and his face was slightly puzzled.

"What do you mean by that?"

Jester scoffed.

"He can carry nearly a thousand Praetorian Guards, and there are also small teams of bloody guards to follow, not to mention what valuable goods he is going to transport, now this guy can command such a scale of soldiers, I think it should be the Grand Duke who has promoted him to a position in the Duchy. ”

Li Yanbei waved his hand impatiently.

"I love to mention what to mention, but I don't bother to care. Can he mention me as the heir to the principality? ”

Hearing Li Yanbei mention Fiona again, Nero suddenly came forward with a strange voice.

"Speaking of Fiona, Lord Deacon, let's not talk about Fiona, can you take this opportunity to teach us some skills in picking up girls?"

Hearing this, Li Yanbei was stunned.

"Tricks?"

"That's right. ”

Nero shrugged his shoulders.

"You see you in Brand and Fiona, in the Duchy of Asammet and Alice, and in the Holy Imperial City and in the Holy Imperial City, and in the Holy Maiden. ”

With a shy smile on his face, Nero looked shameless at the moment.

"Everywhere there are peerless beauties admiring, don't you teach us three old singles such skills?"

Li Yanbei rolled his eyes fiercely.

"I don't have that ability. ”

"Hey, hey, hey. ”

Nero frowned and said,

"You are the rumored Highness Roy, the king of the pickle girl world. You say you're not capable of this, isn't that a little too modest?"

Annoyed by Nero's shameless appearance, Li Yanbei pushed Nero's head away with his hand.

"Didn't I tell you? I cultivate the Tao, Taoism pays attention to the principle of guarding the heart, I am not at all as you think, and I do not have the ability to pick up girls in the rumored His Royal Highness Roy. To be honest, I didn't even kiss a girl on the mouth before I went to the Empire of Light. ”

Hearing Li Yanbei's words, Jester and the three were stunned for a moment.

And after a moment, they all seemed to suddenly react to something.

The three of them glanced at each other, and they all saw a little excitement in each other's eyes.

The three of them also seemed to notice that Li Yanbei's slippery words revealed some amazing news.

"Your Highness?"

Jester poked his head out in a sly manner, a sneer on his face.

"According to what you said, after you went to the Empire of Light this time, did you kiss a certain girl on the mouth?"

As soon as these words came out, Li Yanbei shivered.

Looking at the burning eyes and anticipation on the faces of the three guys, he suddenly realized that he seemed to have said something that he shouldn't have said.

"Forehead ······"

"This... Well······ this."
