Throughout the ages, all blessings have been more of a comfort and a vision than a real one.

But fortunately, Al's parents in this world are still very healthy, and nothing has changed much.

At least Duke Edward was still as majestic as ever, and the Duchess was still dignified and generous, but her face was slightly whiter than before.

"Don't worry too much about Al, rest well at night, don't rush your body. Duke Edward said with concern at the table.

The Duchess's original expression was like the mask of the actor on the stage being torn, and she was no longer as calm as before.

She smiled bitterly, "Honey, how did you see that?" I even asked Grell to help me touch up and cover up the dark circles under my eyes. ”

"You've put on foundation and eyeliner, and you've never dressed up like that, even if you meet a bishop. I can't see it, but I can guess it. Duke Edward looked at his wife lovingly.

"The people I sent out are the most elite and strong men in the Western Army, and they will definitely bring El back unscathed, so don't worry anymore. ”

The Duchess nodded and said with a smile: "Maybe I have too much heart, and I have always been a little restless these days." ”

Then she talked to the Duke about the affairs of the West, and the old strong woman seemed to return to her.

After dinner, Duke Edward, as usual, went to the government office to deal with political affairs. And in the study of the government office, there was already a person waiting there.

"Any new information?", Duke Edward asked.

"My lord, the latest news has come from the eyes of the northern realm, the dark elves have only fought the Holy Cult army once, and then they retreated decisively, it seems that they have seen the operational intention of the northern military center to blossom. ”

"The battle that night was fierce, and according to post-battle statistics, even with extremely good preparations, the Holy Cult Army still suffered heavy losses. ”

"Don't beat around the bush, you know what I want to hear, whether it's good or bad. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not old yet, and I can still hold on. ", interjected Duke Edward.

"Yes...... Be. The man had beads of sweat on his forehead.

"In the post-war inventory, the manpower that Young Master El and we arranged all disappeared without a trace. And when cleaning the battlefield, their bodies were not found either. ”

"Now there is no one alive and no corpse dead. It is said that there is no quarrel in the north because of this matter, and the political officials in the north are anxiously discussing how to deal with this matter. ”

Duke Edward stood still, silent for a long time.

"There is no one alive, no corpse is dead. ”

"There is no one alive, no corpse is dead. ”

......

He muttered a few times, and then commanded, "Stand down, continue to intensify your exploration of the north, and don't relax." ”

"Yes, the lowly rank will do its best to live up to the trust of the adults. With that, the man withdrew.

Duke Edward slowly sat back in his chair and looked up at the crystal mirror on the side, only to realize that he had unconsciously gained a few more strands of silver hair.

"In the morning, I also advised Sharan not to worry, it turns out that I am also anxious to turn white. Duke Edward thought as he stroked his hair, a little self-deprecatingly.

The news from the north never stopped, but it got worse and worse. Therefore, Duke Edward hid the news, and in order to avoid the Duchess's suspicion, he also changed the place where he heard the report from the Thorn Castle to the government office.

"But with Shalan's shrewdness, I don't know how long I can hide it. Duke Edward thought silently.

He didn't believe that Al had died on the battlefield, even if he had taken 10,000 steps back, Al had really died there, but what about the corpse?

Not to mention the twenty elites of the Western Army led by Ori, why are their corpses missing? You must know that the order they received is to protect the El, and if the El dies, they will never be left alone.

What's more, they all secretly infiltrated the Holy Cult Army, and the northern realm should not know their identities, and there is no way to hide them.

"Did you flee with Al? It seems that the battle that night was indeed extremely fierce. Even they weren't sure they would survive. Duke Edward's speculation is very close to the truth.

"But where did they flee to? did they hide in the cities of the North, or did they flee into the Titans?", Duke Edward couldn't tell.

He thought for a moment, rang the bell, and ordered the herald who came in, "Get Baron Freeman." ”

......

Al had expected that Duke and Duchess Edward would be fine, and as long as they didn't leave the West, who else in this world could threaten them?

It's just that El didn't expect that the situation in Shenghui City, which he was worried about, was much better than he expected.

Since Al was arrested by the Holy Cult and then expelled from Radiant City, the Western Realm Trading House has also fallen silent for a while. However, to Al's surprise, after a while, the Westside Comptoir was reopened, and its business was not affected in any way.

Not only that, the Westside Trading House also hyped up the Colosseum that was about to be completed and opened in the city, which caused an uproar in the city for a while.

And all of this stems from a conversation between President Sasha and Quinn Rodriguez.

Originally, after Ell's accident, the Western Realm Trading House was harassed by various bull ghosts, snakes, and gods who were red in the past, which made President Sasha very annoyed. Coupled with the departure of Al, it led to the interruption of the main business of the Westside Merchant Light.

Therefore, the Westside Comptoir was struggling and tired of coping during that time, and Governor Sasha was also up and down and exhausted.

It was only then that he remembered what Al had told him to consult with Quinn Rodriguez if there was anything difficult to deal with.

Although Sasha has always looked down on Quinn, a prodigal and a loser, he still found Quinn with the idea of being a dead horse and a live horse doctor.

"What's so difficult about this? The dilemma you are facing now is that you are being too low-key, so people are being bullied. ”

"Make the momentum bigger and publicize it, who else in this Shenghui City dares to bully your Western Territory Trading House. Quinn, leaning comfortably on a young maid, replied lazily.

Governor Sasha almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, he thought that Quinn was probably unreliable, but he didn't expect it to be so unreliable.

"Now that Young Master El has left Shenghui City for his sins, isn't it taking our lives to make a big fuss?", Governor Sasha said angrily.

It is also thanks to his good qi cultivation and kung fu that he did not leave on the spot.
