"My lord, I'm back. ”

Not long after, the man in black, who had been watching Reynes and Sheila in the shadows, suddenly appeared in an ordinary manor in the east of King Ludian's city, and saluted the old man sitting fishing by a man-made lake.

"Alas...... Let the fish run away again......"

The old man sighed, said a little helplessly, and then looked behind him faintly, as soon as the man in black opened his mouth, the fish near the hook were frightened, and they ran away.

"The subordinate is guilty. ”

The man in black was expressionless and pleaded guilty, but looking at his appearance, the old man didn't feel at all that he knew what he had done wrong.

"First of all, tell me how the tasks assigned to you have been completed now?" the old man shook his head, and said in a somewhat helpless tone.

After the strong man of the elf clan evaded the pursuit of Rains, he turned around again and returned to the forest, and Rains did not expect that the strong man of the elf race was so bold, and as soon as Raines left the forest, she immediately ran back. ”

When the man in black said this, his voice, which had always been calm, faintly fluctuated, as if he was holding back a smile.

"These aliens are really bold enough. The old man also smacked his lips when he heard this, and said in disbelief.

"Do you think that if we come to the rescue at this time, will that strong man of the elven clan be of use to us?" he said after a moment's thought.

"Maybe we can use her feud with Raines to operate and cause some trouble to His Majesty Emperor Ludian, but if we want to subdue this sky powerhouse, it is not so simple to do. ”

The man in black pondered for a moment, shook his head and denied the old man's thoughts, and also accentuated his tone on the four words Sky Powerhouse, after all, although the forces they secretly combined were strong enough, it was still impossible to drive the Sky Powerhouse.

"It's a shame. ”

The old man sighed: "His Royal Highness Jerome is about to return, but we courtiers can't provide him with a safe environment, the old man is ashamed of the emperor." ”

The old man did not suppress his emotions at all when he said this, his eyes were tearful, and he roared resentfully.

I am not afraid of what kind of horror and turmoil it will cause if this sentence reaches the ears of Emperor Ludian, because this is the Gordon family, and the old man's name is Sweet Gordon, the patriarch of the Gordon family, and one of the only three remaining dukes of the Ludian Empire.

He was once the commander of the 500,000 troops in the south of the Gullian Empire, and even now that he was relieved, Emperor Ludian did not dare to make a move against him.

Because as long as he is there, it is a deterrent and a sign for the remnants of the former Gurray Empire, as long as he does not speak, those people will not rebel.

And the Gordon family's manor is heavily guarded, unless Raines comes in person, no one dares to sneak in, otherwise they must die.

That's why Duke Sweet Gordon has a low roar without fear, because his identity is a talisman, and the Ludian Empire, which is facing internal and external troubles, will definitely not attack him because of some things that catch the wind and shadows.

But what Emperor Ludian did not expect was that Duke Gordon, one of the only three remaining dukes of the empire, was actually the head and one of the initiators of the rebel army.

Since his title was only a hereditary marquis when the royal family of Gurray was in power, it stands to reason that he should be more inclined to the Ludian Empire.

"His Royal Highness Jason of Lopez is not a good person to get along with, and the actions of his forces in Ludian have become more and more secretive lately, and I am afraid that it will become some trouble in the future. ”

The man in black said with some anxiety that although it was Jason's people who helped them connect with the last bloodline of the Gullilian royal family, he always felt that Jason's purpose was not simple, not as simple as just supporting an ordinary ally.

But the crow's strange style and uncertain whereabouts made him unable to see anything wrong.

Duke Gordon was silent for a moment when he heard this, and finally he frowned and said, "No matter what that person is planning, now that the north of the Lopez Kingdom is no longer safe, we must find a way to bring His Highness Jerome into our sphere of influence." ”

The situation on Jason's side seemed to them to be a life-or-death situation, and he didn't want the last hope of the Gurray royal family to be ruined in Jason's hands.

So he was desperate to get Jerome back, and at the same time he had other plans, such as with Jerome's support, he might be able to rise to a higher level in the Restoration Party, and no one would dislike his status or power was too high, and the same was true for Duke Gordon.

Although he is one of the three dukes of the empire, the power in his hands has been compressed to an extreme, which is also his dissatisfaction with the Ludian Empire.

"If His Highness is brought to Ludian, maybe his situation will be even more dangerous, His Majesty Emperor Ludian has known about His Highness's existence a long time ago, but because His Highness is in Lopez, he is a little out of reach, so he has not been able to trigger it. The man in black calmly retorted at this time.

"Tell me, then, what should we do?"

This doesn't work, that doesn't work, the old duke is finally a little annoyed, he is now in the Imperial City of Ludian, and it sounds good that he is staying in the power center of the empire, but the bad thing is actually being monitored in disguise.

This made him feel constrained and uncomfortable.

"Let your subordinates talk to the strong man of the elven clan first. The man in black replied.

"Isn't it too dangerous?" said the old duke with a little solemnity, the relationship between the elves and humans can be said to be very poor, and he is worried that something will happen to his right-hand man.

"It's true that I'm no match for their sky powerhouses in a head-to-head fight, but if it's more than escape and lurking, the two Rainnes are no match for me. ”

The man in black's calm tone was full of confidence, and the mention of Raines' name was not the slightest respect.

"If you can't do anything, get out of there immediately, everything is for your safety, be careful, go. ”

The old duke was silent, and finally waved his hand and said.

"The subordinates retired. ”

After saying that, the man in black quietly retreated, as if he had never appeared.

After he left, Duke Gordon stood in place and wandered for a long time, and when he finally came back to his senses, he smiled bitterly and said self-deprecatingly: "I still don't accept old age when I am old, it seems that this time I really want to put this old bone into it." ”

In fact, he is not very sure about the restoration of the country, all he wants is peace of mind.

If Jerome hadn't appeared, perhaps their group would have been nothing more than a politically united group of interests.
