What does James Edward look like?

Anthony didn't remember much, but he could be sure that the guy was blonde, blue-eyed, deep-eyed, high-nosed, and his face was full of sculptural toughness — typical of "ideal Aryan" style. In fact, the entire Thracian royal family, as well as its branches, is very recognizable in this style.

But at this moment, the person he saw, although he still had green eyes, although he still had deep eyes and a high nose, and his lines were as hard as an axe and a chisel, but he had white hair.

Pale, withered, with gray hair like an old man.

"This ...... What's going on?" Anthony asked.

"It's boring on the road, so I talk to him. Little Eggplant said with some embarrassment, "Then I said that I had leaked my mouth and told him about the Edward family......

Anthony immediately understood!

What is the situation with the Edwards?

Of course, it's the case of the whole family!

The people living in the castle tried to escape through the tunnels, but the tunnels were blocked by the soldiers, who poured potions into the tunnels that could produce poisonous fire and smoke, and then directly blocked all the exits of the tunnels, including the vents.

Those who lived in the manor outside the city were blocked inside the manor and burned to death along with the manor.

Even a few of them who had been hiding in the shadows and had never appeared in front of the public were found and killed - two of them didn't even know they were members of the Edward family.

In just one day, the entire Edward family vanished, except for Jaime, the only survivor, relatives, subordinates, and servants...... All of them are dead, and not one is left.

All of this was just an order from King Richard after he received the news of Leopold's death.

The specific content of that order is actually only one sentence.

Let the Edwards give Leopold a burial.

The news came from a traverser, the minotaur Sheen Kaolin, who was wandering around with the band. As early as after Wang Tuhao's romantic overturn, he quietly stationed in Thrace City, and has been performing in Thrace City and several nearby cities as a lyric singer, no one could have imagined that he was actually a spy.

A bunch of spies, to be precise.

A group of spies who can send the gathered information without any special means, and no one can stop them.

Of course, the Thracian spies have been paying close attention to such an unconventional minotaur, especially since this minotaur and his band members are also keen to inquire about all kinds of gossip and spend most of their income on this.

Isn't this a living spy?

However, after careful investigation, they found that this group of people had no intention of transmitting the news to the outside world at all, and they ...... It's really just gossip and gossip.

No records have even been made.

Obviously, it can't be a spy, it can only be mentally retarded.

After being labeled mentally retarded, Thracian spies stopped paying attention to this group of weird singers.

...... Of course, it's useless for them to pay attention.

Because all the gossip was recorded by the traversers in the castle against the statements of the mariachi members in the chat channel, there was no interaction between the two sides during the whole process.

If this can be checked, then they are not spies, but immortals.

...... No, I'm afraid the gods can't either, at least no one has ever heard of the gods traveling into the game world with a group of people.

As an aside, Sheehan and the others arrived the day after the accident in Thracian City, and got more or less first-hand information.

King Richard did not hide this information, and he even called a meeting of the great nobles to tell the whole thing as it was.

"In general, I'm anxious about it. He reflected, "It is right to take that money, and it is also appropriate to eliminate the trouble, but I should not be in such a hurry, I should be slow - for example, wait for them to escape from Lacey City before we do it, and contact the masters of your families to encircle and suppress them together." That way, even if someone answers, they don't want to run away with the money. ”

For his statement, the nobles present expressed their approval and regret.

Although they may not really agree, they may not really regret it.

Even if they agree, it may not be this, and even if they regret it, the reasons for regret may not be the same as that of His Majesty the King.

His Majesty the King is well aware of this.

But he certainly won't care.

And everyone knows that if everything were to start all over again, he would still choose to do it in a hurry.

If you don't take advantage of the fact that the Edward family is still in Thrace City, the big nobles don't dare to take the lead in the city, do you really want to share the more than two million with them?

Are you kidding!

The reason why Leopold did it before the Edward family left the city was probably because he knew that the great nobles had already planned to join forces to divide the money - their team of killers had even ambushed the south of the city, watching the exit of the Edward family's escape tunnel!

It's just that the king never thought that James Edward, who was originally just a successful speculation of great luck, would quietly develop such a big force under his nose!

Whether it's the magic of summoning dragons or the brave and skilled dead soldiers, it's definitely not just a knight's choice.

If this power is used at the right time and place, it will be enough for the Thracian kingdom to change its king.

I believe that whenever he thinks of this in the future, he will be frightened, and then rejoice in his choice.

At least he avoided the worst-case scenario, albeit at a huge cost - the more than two million gold coins that he could have gotten his hands on, only a few hundred thousand ended up in the end.

The greater loss than money was Leopold's death.

Money has a price, talent is priceless, and the loss of Leopold may be more regrettable for him than the loss of more than two million.

But the greatest loss is not these, but his majesty.

Claiming the property of a knight under his command as a king is really not such a face-saving thing. Although if he had succeeded, I believe everyone would have approved of his approach, he failed.

The king was not able to get a knight, and was run away by the other party with a huge sum of more than 2 million gold coins?!

This has done so much damage to his majesty that he must show enough determination and cruelty to deter those who secretly mock him.

Although no one knows, this will not have much effect. But in any case, it's better than nothing.

And...... Although Leopold is dead, the Otto family is still there, and doing so can make the Otto family a little relieved, and can also establish the king's attitude of respecting talents.

As for Jaime's idea, he certainly hadn't thought about it from the beginning.

These things are not secret, a little inquiry, a little analysis, you can sort them all out.

On the way today, Xiao Eggplant was a little bored when he was in a hurry, so he told all the news and intelligence that they had collected and sorted out and analyzed without sleep.

She said happily, her mouth was like a river, and she had a posture of pointing the country. But I saw that Jaime's expression became more and more painful, more and more depressed, and the whole person was depressed.

Although he was exhausted from flying on the back of a dragon for several days in a row, his eyes were still bright and he was still very energetic.

But these spirits, after hearing her say these words, completely dissipated.

It's like the knight named Jaime Edward, who would later become a dragon slayer, gradually crumbled and shattered, turning into a pile of dust that went with the wind.

As a result, his originally golden hair slowly turned white, and finally became pale and withered like an old man.

The little eggplant was so frightened that she closed her mouth, and she didn't even have the nature of gossiping in the chat channel.

She never thought that the scenes she had only seen in historical stories and martial arts would really appear in front of her!
