Adolf stood on the watchtower, watching the mercenaries arguing on the walls below.

As Londello squeezed through the crowd and left, he frowned and turned his gaze to the barracks below, a hint of coldness emerged.

Fano looked at Adolf, whose face was frosty, and said in a low voice, "Otherwise, we will cancel tomorrow's entrance ceremony to the city, right?"

"Cancelled?" Adolf snorted, watching the barracks of galloping knights, as they dismounted in stirrups in front of a huge tent with a dozen wagons parked, and strode into the tent led by a burly knight with a full beard and a dragon stride.

"These guys, but our reinforcements from Lulian are here to reinforce us. Adolf turned his head and looked at Fano, "Although they are slower than anyone on the road, and have not fought for even a minute, but under such a banner, can we keep them out?"

"They're clearly here to show off their might," Fano said, "We can let them into the city, but the ceremony can be canceled with an excuse." ”

"No matter what the excuse is, it's just a cover-up. Adolf sighed and shook his head.

The anger on his face turned into helplessness, he gently patted the rough wall tiles of the pheasant, and said: "Their idea of showing off their strength and fighting those mercenaries this time is on the one hand, and on the other hand, it is also for me Adolf." Now we are in our own territory, we can still find excuses, and in the future, when we are in the coalition forces, what excuses will we find?"

Fano was silent for a moment.

As the commander of the Mooney City Guard, he knew the loss best.

Originally, because of his policy of resting with the people, Lulian was the weakest in the empire in terms of military strength. This loss is even more painful. The future is in jeopardy in the coalition forces.

Whether it's a lion or a wolf, the weakest one is always the most bullied. What's more, Loulian has been in the limelight enough in the past few years. As the staunchest of royal diehards, there is almost no doubt that they will be suppressed by the Donald line. If you offend these nobles again this time......

"By the way, did Roy come back?" Adolf asked.

Fano shook his head.

"This kid has a big heart, and if he leaves Karn with the job of recruiting people, he will be gone," Adolf shook his head and laughed, "I don't know where he went." ”

"Your Highness, you said, he promised the three hundred sets of Heavenly Transformation Demon Costumes......" Fano said with some concern.

"This kid is not such an unreliable person, but I think he is a bit braggart to take out so many days of magic costume in a short period of time. Adolf laughed.

Although Roy bragged, instead of reproach, his tone was doting. It's like a father seeing a mischievous young son.

"Time is not afraid! Even if he can give us a hundred sets in half a year, no, only fifty sets," said Fano, "we can ease our strength." The five-day transformation magic suit team can make many people get acquainted with each other. ”

Adolf nodded, and was about to say something, when suddenly, there was a rush of footsteps.

The two of them turned to look, only to see Karn ascending the wall with an excited face.

"Your Highness, Roy is back!"

Adolf and Fano looked at each other, and their eyes lit up suddenly.

"Let's go!"

#########

When Adolf walked into the castle living room, Roy was already asleep on the couch.

Adolf slowed down and walked up to Roy, staring at him.

Because it was a private meeting, Roy didn't pretend to be Leo. However, Adolf found that at some point, this familiar face had faded from the childishness and softness of a teenager and became angular. Every line is like a sculpture.

Even among the nobility, Roy can be called handsome.

However, unlike most aristocratic young people of this age, his temperament is more resolute, witty, and wild.

The corners of Adolf's mouth couldn't help but hook up a smile.

Instead of waking Roy up, he poured a glass of wine and waited quietly as he drank. In the quiet of the afternoon, reminisce about everything from the first time I heard the name of this little Borabel boy to the present.

Roy, who was sleeping soundly on the sofa, looked like a hound, curled up in a warm nest, gentle, safe, and harmless to humans and animals.

However, only Adolf knew that this kid was by no means as safe as he seemed.

Hounds are domesticated. And Roy wasn't. He is a demon wolf who lives only in the wind and snow, loneliness and endless fighting. No one will be able to tame him.

His gentleness and smile will only give him a recognized companion.

And for the enemy, this kid is more cunning than a fox, more fierce than a wolf, and more violent than a bear. If anyone thinks that they can deal with this kid like they can deal with everyone else, then he has miscalculated. His experience will make him a failure!

From Bollabelle's handyman to the current Earl of Southern Cross, no one knows better than Adolf what a rough and bumpy road Roy has walked.

However, this boy with a simple smile never bowed his head.

In just two years, he braved the storm and snow, all the way to this place. In the future, Adolf didn't even know that his eyes would not have time to follow his back. It's like a gust of wind, and you don't even have time to reach out before it's whistling by.

Maybe a year, maybe two years...... Adolf is convinced that there will be a day in the future, when he looks at this kid as he does today, he may use the gaze of looking up.

Therefore, Adolf rejoiced.

This feeling of happiness is like the wine in a glass, so strong.

Thankfully, this kid is from Lulian. Thankfully, the Loulian family had always been his friends. In those choices, I didn't make a mistake.

I don't know how long it took, but Roy woke up with a movement of his eyelids.

"Woke up?" Adolf poured a cup of black tea and handed it to Roy, "Come, take a saliva." ”

"Thank you. Roy was a little embarrassed.

In the past few days, he has either been cultivating or busy with the matter of changing into a demon costume, and although the time on the battlefield in the end is much longer than the time outside, he still doesn't have much time to rest. After returning to the city of Muni, he fell asleep while waiting for Adolf.

Roy didn't know how long Adolf had waited, but he knew that he had been asleep for a short time.

Seeing Roy drink tea and put down the teacup, Adolf sat down on the sofa opposite him, groaned for a while, and asked, "You know everything outside, right?"

Roy's expression between his eyebrows turned cold and he nodded.

On the first time he returned, he had already heard Karn talk about what had happened in the city of Muni in the three days he had been away.

Obviously, he has become the public enemy of the nobility.

Thirty-one nobles united, representing almost all the noble alliances in the regions of the Saint Solan Empire. Twenty percent more than the salary offered by oneself. Add to that the rumors of the Favor Newspaper and the army outside the city...... It's a big battle.

Roy had no intention of making enemies of anyone.

Especially in this matter, he already knew his hole cards, and he never regarded the opponent as an opponent who could threaten him.

Now, however, things have clearly taken a turn for the better.

This is Lulian, not to talk about his relationship with Adolf, just to talk about the recruitment of mercenaries, in order to get Adolf's permission, he paid three hundred sets of heavenly transformation costumes.

This is both out of respect for Adolf and out of respect for the rules.

If you didn't do this, or if you were targeting the local noble lords of Lulian, then you really don't have much to say.

But now, with the permission of his master, he has become the public enemy of a group of brutal and evil people...... Roy thinks the only explanation may be that he seems to be a bully.

"Imperial nobles, there are many circles. Some are big, some are small, some are strong, some are weak. Their traditions and ways of doing things are different," said Adolf, shaking the wine in his glass, "but one thing is the same, and that is seniority and qualifications. ”

"Have you seen the monkeys? The Monkey King is high on top, surrounded by his henchmen, and the lowest status is the new little monkey. If any ignorant little monkey breaks the rules, then he doesn't have to do anything, and the other monkeys will teach him a hard lesson. ”

Adolf pointed at Roy, "You're the little monkey now." ”

The corners of Roy's mouth curled into a sneering arc.

Adolf said: "The new nobles usually take a beating. This is the tradition of the old aristocracy, and they want to erect rules for these rookies who don't know the height of the sky and teach them how to behave in the aristocratic circle. Careful, docile and obedient, this is the most basic. ”

"This kind of thing, it's usually a little bit of a conflict. For example, under the pretext that the rice fields were trampled by the nouveau riche minions, such as breaking the tax card, such as the territory line is not accurate enough. Anyway, no matter who is right or wrong, find a slap in the face, and the rules will be established. ”

As he spoke, Adolf looked at Roy and raised his eyebrows: "However, this time, you have caused more trouble and offended more people." If you want to talk about the nouveau riche killing stick, your killing stick can be regarded as the biggest and most ruthless blow in the hundred years since the founding of the empire. ”

"Should I be scared, or should I be honored?" Roy winked.

"You're sorry...... In order to set rules for you, they didn't even pay attention to me. Tomorrow morning, they will march into the city in full force and show their might on the ground of my Adolf. Adolf laughed: "This slap is not your face. ”

"So......" Roy smiled and drooped his eyelids, "Can I take this slap back?"

"Pull it back?" Adolf was stunned.

This kid has a strong and tough personality, and he knows it better than anyone else. If others don't mess with him, it's okay. If you are provoked, this kid can poke a hole in the sky. His talent for causing trouble had already been seen by Adolf in Scarlett and Schilling of the Lanris family.

But even so, Adolf still didn't expect that this kid's reaction to this incident was to pull back.

That's thirty-one nobles. Even he doesn't want to offend easily. Does this kid really know what he's doing?

"Have you thought about the consequences?" Adolf asked.

"Didn't think about it. Roy said calmly, "However, I know that whether it is an aristocratic circle or any other circle, the so-called qualifications and qualifications, sometimes, are actually whether your fist is big enough. ”

"But our fists ......," Adolf said with a wry smile.

"If they were to turn the other cheek and start a war, I would certainly not be their opponent. Thirty-one families, plus those forces behind them, no matter how stupid I am, I am not stupid enough to be the enemy of the entire empire," Roy laughed, like a fox, "However, it is not ...... that we are not fighting now"

Adolf's eyes narrowed, and his heart jumped. And at this moment, I saw Roy wave his hand, and a golden light crossed an arc and flew towards him.

Adolf reached out and caught it.

In the palm of his hand, a spatial ring lay quietly.

"It's ......"

Adolf subconsciously checked the space ring, his eyes widened suddenly, and his body stood up with a thud, surprised and delighted.

"Time is tight, and that's part of that. Roy said with a smile.

Adolf stared at Roy blankly.

After a moment, he burst out laughing.

"Good! that's great!" he was so excited that he couldn't even control it, pacing back and forth several steps before clenching his fists, "So ......"

The two looked at each other and both smiled at the same time.

"Your Highness, please send me an invitation first," Roy said, "as for tomorrow...... This time, let's let them take a good look!"

"Take a good look...... Adolf chewed on the sentence, the more he chewed, the more he tasted, the more excited he became, "That's right, we have to let them take a good look!"

Before the words fell, he had already turned quickly.

"Someone!" ...... (To be continued.) )
