"Did Victor tell you about 'Destiny'?"

"Talked about ......"

"Oh, what did Your Highness say?"

"Your Highness said that if the mayor of the town is assassinated, the inhabitants of the town will know, the priest will interrogate, and the lord will investigate thoroughly, so it will not be an easy task to assassinate the mayor, even if he is just an ordinary person; Therefore, the mayor of the town is favored by the power of fate, and there is an invisible and untouchable power to protect him. ”

"Well said...... Lilia, I don't have anything to look for, in my eyes how can ordinary people have talent at all?Your ability to ignite the fire of your heart has nothing to do with your talent, but it is not accidental. For the sake of Victor and Nicole, I give you a piece of advice, many female knights of noble blood are willing to be the personal maids of His Royal Highness Randall, they admire His Highness's beauty, and even covet the favor of the power of fate - serving His Highness Randall, it is inevitable to achieve the silver rank, and even have the opportunity to set foot in the gold field. Lilia, if you go the wrong way, you will surely slide into the abyss. ”

Trisley's advice was still in her ears, and the beautifully carved noble carriage ran over the iron oak suspension bridge and drove straight into the inner courtyard of Pinghu Fort, Lilia collected her floating thoughts, and when the accompanying sword-wielding maid opened the door, she stretched out her slender feet in bright silver high-root shoes, stepped on the footstool, and fell lightly to the ground.

"Madame, welcome back. The steward of Pinghu Fort led several captains of the guard and the chief servant to salute respectfully.

Lilia nodded reservedly, her expression as calm and calm as usual, and asked, "Has the guest I invited arrived?"

The steward leaned over slightly, and replied meticulously, "Yes, the guests are waiting for the summons of the lady in the rest room on the third floor of the castle. ”

Lilia pursed her lips slightly, and walked towards the side door of the castle, where the castle steward was three shoulders behind her, and the squires followed in two rows, with the captain of the guard at the head of the line with the hilt of his sword in hand. They were so well trained that they didn't need the orders of their hostess, and they knew that they should go to Lady Lilia's private lounge at Fort Pinghu.

The dimly lit corridor echoed with the sound of Lilia's crisp and pleasant footsteps, and the others walked as lightly as possible, highlighting Lilia's presence even more.

This filled Lilia with confidence, and she could feel a surge of power welling up from within her, spreading to every inch of her body, her mind becoming more and more clear and sharp, and her eyes gradually becoming bright and solid, and she could see many details of her surroundings.

The aura of the noble lady is like an invisible whip, prompting the surrounding followers to raise their heads and concentrate on their spirits, and everyone's temperament at this moment is like a sharp sword out of the sheath, pushing Lilia's spiritual power to the top.

Walking into the familiar room, Lilia naturally sat down in a high-backed chair behind her desk, flipping through the various reports placed on the table. The attendants went about their duties and dealt with their affairs in an orderly manner, and the chief of the castle stood with his hands down and asked, "Madame, do you want to meet the guests now?"

Lilia glanced up at the steward, and saw that his fingers were firmly as a rock against the seams of his pants. This is not an easy task for the average person in the elderly, and the castle manager can only maintain the stability of his fingers for a short time when he is in an extraordinarily full state of mind.

The corners of her mouth turned up slightly, and she smiled faintly, and commanded, "In two quarters of an hour, I will see the guests." ”

"As you wish, noble lady. The castle steward bowed and took two steps back before turning to leave the room.

Aristocratic etiquette is a profound science, complicated and complicated, with strict rules. Lilia remembers that a long time ago, the War Bear Mercenary Regiment rescued a bard in distress, and he was unanimously taunted by the War Bear mercenaries for his posturing and boasting of aristocratic etiquette to the mercenaries. The fallen poet was angry and shouted:

Only a fool would treat the aristocracy as a fool, and the aristocratic etiquette is unfathomable, and it will never be a red tape used for posturing.

As for how unfathomable aristocratic etiquette is, the martyred poets have never been able to say a convincing truth.

Lilia now ignited the fire of her heart, and the mysteries of the world lifted a veil in front of her, allowing her to glimpse part of the truth, to see things that she couldn't understand before, and to figure out things that she couldn't figure out before.

How can the nobles rule the kingdom, how can they be fools, and then idle and bored to make themselves a set of red tape shackles, so that ignorant and ignorant inferior people laugh at them behind their backs?

Aristocratic etiquette involves all aspects of daily life, has a strong sense of ritual, and its main purpose is to set off. The master spurs the attendants, the attendants supervise the master, support each other, make progress together, do not slack off at all, become more diligent and hardworking, more intelligent and strong, more calm and calm, and finally have the elegant temperament to stand out.

It is hard to imagine that the attendant wakes up later in the morning than the master, and it is difficult to imagine that the master can lie comfortably in bed surrounded by the attendant, and he must not even open his eyes and be groggy, and he must lift his spirits, and such a spirit will continue throughout the day.

Victor clearly pointed out that aristocratic etiquette is a well-known and effective spiritual secret method, which can enhance the spiritual power of master and slave. But it has strong limitations and must be foreshadowed by power.

The elder family will send the younger heirs to serve as squires to the experienced old knights, and they will receive ceremonial training at an early age, which will help them awaken the knightly bloodline. And even if the small family wants to be red tape and pretend, they don't have that resource.

Lilia underwent rigorous training as a lady-in-waiting at Rose Manor, and is the personal lady-in-waiting of His Royal Highness Randall, the wife of House Randall, and although she has no knightly blood, no one would question her nobility.

Because she is now a true nobleman - beautiful and elegant, with power in her hands.

But she is not a knight after all, the difference between a knight nobleman and an ordinary nobleman is that power is a tool for knight nobles to awaken their power, but it is the source of power for ordinary nobles.

In fact, it is not only aristocratic etiquette that can enhance a person's spiritual strength, anyone is playing the role of supporting and being promoted, as long as he has companions. Just like Nelson and the War Bear Mercenary Regiment, the mercenaries worship his power and make him their leader. The entire War Bear Mercenary Regiment is supporting Nelson, making him stronger, and Nelson's strength in turn boosts the War Bear Mercenaries. They must at least have the ability to fight with Commander Nelson.

Where there is a setback, there is a stampede.

Randall led the trainees from the training camp are all children from one out of ten, they practice the same source blood secret method, take the same share of secret method potion, those who perform well are praised by the instructors, the pursuit of classmates, honor, pride brings self-confidence and the motivation to climb upward, their training performance will become better, and finally they will be able to win the place to practice the third-level source blood secret method, and maybe they can become a beginner soul warrior. And those students with the worst performance will be ignored by the instructors, ridiculed by their classmates, they will be languid, it will be difficult to make a difference, and they will be eliminated after two years, and they will be a first-class source blood warrior, and their strength is similar to that of ordinary soldiers.

The Beginner Soul Warriors are the elite of the family, and the first-level Source Blood Warriors cannot be said to be victims, but when they go to the battlefield, their casualties will definitely be the greatest.

For people with equal opportunities, their fate has gone to two poles.

The competitive elimination system of the training camp was formulated by Victor himself, and the family's resources are so many, only the elite of the elite can practice the third-level source blood secret method and become a beginner-level soul warrior. If every subordinate student is treated equally, the training camp can only cultivate a group of mediocre talents.

Without the encouragement of instructors, the laggards have become negative teaching materials for training camps, and the power of their own destiny is extracted by outstanding students, which is actually a stepping stone for soul warriors.

Randall's nearly 500,000 people have heard of Lady Lilia's reputation, but few people know how many open and secret battles she has gone through to step on the shoulders of the Alina sisters to get to where she is today.

The twin sisters are female apprentice knights of the Rose Manor, but Lilia, a mercenary, ignites a fire in her heart.

Lilia looked at her hands slightly, her hands were slender and beautiful, white and flawless, and her skin was delicate and soft like clotted fat, but she could pinch the wings of a bee and choke the bones of a brown bear, as if she were the hands of a female knight. But if she weren't the personal maid of the Earl of Golden-Eye, Lady Lilia of the Randall family, even if she luckily ignited the fire of her heart, these hands would be like the hands of a mercenary, with thick black skin, covered with calluses and scars.

Once a female knight is promoted to the extraordinary, she no longer needs to be treadful, and they are themselves a model of beauty and elegance, while it becomes very difficult for ordinary nobles to progress if they lose power.

The flame of her heart will not be extinguished, and the power she possesses will not be lost, but Lilia is not willing to go back to the past in any way, she is afraid of losing her beauty, losing her intelligence, and finally losing her husband's favor and trust.

The attendant led a man of medium stature and gray hair into the room, and Lilia collected her divergent thoughts and waved her hand lightly, and the attendants saluted and retreated, leaving only the elite guardian Kane and the four beginner psychic warriors in the room.

Lilia looked at the guest opposite, her red lips opened slightly, and she smiled and said, "Balor, we haven't seen each other for almost four years. You look a lot younger. ”

The founder of the mercury spy lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Lady Lilia, I have been summoned by Lady Nicole...... You should be aware that Mercury is only responsible to Lord Count, and in His absence, we follow Lady Nicole's orders. ”

Balor didn't respond to Lilia's greetings, which made her unhappy, and her eyes were cold, but after all, the other party was the head of the secret agent promoted by her husband, and he abided by the rules of the family's secret agent, and Lilia was not easy to scold, and after a moment of silence, she said lightly: "I have encountered some trouble, and I summoned you in the name of Lady Nicole, hoping that you would help me come up with an idea for the sake of our joint development of Randall's affection." ”

The old agent was silent for two seconds, and then said with a little caution: "Madam, please speak, but I can't guarantee that I can help you solve the trouble." ”

"Good!"

Lilia smiled, and her soft and pleasant voice revealed the grace of your lady, "Your Highness went on an expedition to the Endless Forest, and the incident happened suddenly, and when he left, he didn't explain how I would deal with the smuggling caravan and the mountain people's stronghold. Mistress Trisley has made it clear that there will be a war in the Centaur Hills, and the family is in dire need of manpower to expand its military strength. There are more than 100,000 mountain strongholds and secret training camps controlled by the Randall family, and at least 40,000 hunters can be transferred to the Randall family's mercenary army. These hill dwellings have always been managed by smuggling caravans and mercury, and I would like to ask your opinion in particular. ”

"Ma'am, I have no opinion. The old agent said calmly.

"When Your Highness left, did you explain anything about the mountain people's stronghold to Mercury?"

"The host didn't go out of his way to explain. ”

Lilia's smile became brighter, and she bowed her head and said, "Well....... I'm going to transfer back people from the mountain people's strongholds, we have raised them for more than ten years, costing hundreds of thousands of gold soles, they have not contributed much to the family, it's time for them to contribute." ”

Balor bowed and said, "Yes...... As long as Lady Nicole gives the order, Mercury will fully cooperate with the family's actions. ”

Lilia's eyes shrank slightly, shook her head and smiled: "There is no shortage of obedient people around His Royal Highness and Madame, if Lady Nicole does everything herself, then where is our value?"

Balor said expressionlessly: "Mercury is only responsible to the master, and the value of mercury is to obey the master. ”

Lilia finally became angry, her pretty face sank, and she said coldly: "Let me say it bluntly, it is in the interests of the family to transfer the troops of the mountain people's strongholds, but His Highness did not explain when he left, we made our own decisions, His Highness will punish us when he returns, and Lady Nicole can intercede for us." Lady Nicole is in charge of her own affairs, do you think we have the right to intercede for her?"

Barol shook his head and insisted, "I need Lady Nicole's warrant." ”

Lilia was furious, grabbed a scroll, threw it in Barol's face, and sneered, "Old thing, you want to clean yourself up...... Okay, this is my warrant, Your Highness's Thunderous Fury, I will bear it alone!"

Barol didn't bend down to pick up the scroll at his feet, but just lowered his head and pestle there without saying a word.

Lilia had never been so disgusted with a person, her gaze was cold, like a sharp dagger, staring at the old spy for a long time, and finally nodded, sneering: "Understood...... You don't believe that Lady Nicole and I will make a case to Your Highness on your behalf, for fear that I will let you carry the black pot alone, and my warrant is not enough...... If you want to show your loyalty, I will fulfill you. ”

"Somebody, grab him, and put him in a dungeon. ”

Barberry Militia Kane waved his hand, and the two Level 3 Blood Militia immediately stepped forward and grabbed Balor's shoulders and pushed him out of the room. The old agent was very cooperative, but he didn't look at Lilia until he was escorted out of the room.

Leaning back in the high-backed chair, Lilia pursed her lips unhappily, thinking to herself: What an old fox, when Victor returns, he must let this old fox get rid of it completely.

The stronghold of the mountain people was originally controlled by the smuggling caravan of the war bear mercenaries, but this organization expanded too fast, and the manpower of the war bear mercenaries could not keep up, and the war bear mercenaries who presided over the smuggling caravans grew older and higher, and gradually focused on cultivating the next generation, and they also had to manage the mercenary army for Nelson. As a result, Mercury took over part of the smuggling caravan at Victor's orders.

The hill strongholds of the three kingdoms of Gombis, Dordor and Neville were still under the management of Lilia, but the hill strongholds of the Sassang Empire and the Seuss Kingdom were established by mercury, and if you want to withdraw these people to Randall, you have to mobilize mercury.

Lilia admits that Trisley's analysis is correct, the mountain stronghold is now bloated and huge, and when Victor is not there, once they are exposed to the eyes of the lords everywhere, they will be purged. In this case, all the early investment of the Randall family has been wasted, and it is the most reasonable thing to withdraw the mountain hunters cultivated by the family to the Randall Domain.

The problem is that without Victor's order, it is the greatest irrationality to abandon the mountain stronghold organization without authorization.

If Lady Sylvia asked Nicole to give the order directly, why did she force Lilia to come forward?

If Lilia didn't dare to do anything for her mother, why did Sylvia use her?

Not only will they not use her, but they will also knock her into dust.

Victor once told Lilia that the Soul Fire is also divided into levels, and she is still the most basic Soul Fire, and when the Soul Fire shines inside and out, it is possible to challenge the realm of the Mind Touch. Lilia fell from a high position, and it was almost impossible to climb again, let alone improve her realm.

The little valet had no choice. However, Lilia kept an eye on it, she could transfer the source of troops from the mountain stronghold step by step, start with those non-critical nodes, and control the whole process within two or three years, at that time Victor should come back, the mountain stronghold organization has not been completely broken, and there is still room for recovery. In this way, His Highness Randall will not be thunderous and angry.

Lilia wanted to plan and discuss with Baror, but in order to shirk responsibility, the other party would rather be imprisoned in a dungeon and let Lilia bear all the consequences alone.

The old spy was treacherous and cunning, and there was no need for Lilia to talk to him in detail. She decided to take over the Mercury Manor and first withdraw to the hill strongholds of the Sang Empire and the Seuss Kingdom.

Barol is not alone in the high-rise of mercury. Moreover, the old fox would cooperate with the family's withdrawal of mountain hunters and smuggling caravans in the dungeon, and he knew very well that without the care of His Highness Randall, the mountain people's stronghold would be like a fire candle in the wind, and it would be extinguished at any time.

While Lilia was working on her next steps, Kane pushed open the door, walked inside, and whispered, "Ma'am, that old guy just killed himself. ”

"What?!" Lilia slammed into her chair.
