To be honest, Luo Sheng actually didn't have much impression of Raymond, the current crown prince of the Elson Kingdom. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In his previous life, when Luo Sheng was forced to flee Elson, on the one hand, he was still young and had limited knowledge and did not pay much attention to the political situation of the country, on the other hand, Luo Sheng's status was low at that time, and there were no high-level information channels, so it was impossible to understand the specific situation of the upper echelons. A lot of things, but it's just hearsay.

After wandering around the world, although Luo Sheng's strength improved a lot later, he had the right to consult some information, but Luo Sheng was not very interested in things like the inside story of the political situation, and he didn't bother to check it, and other forces would not have too detailed records of Elson's internal situation, so Luo Sheng didn't know much about these people who really controlled Elson's fate, at most he just paid attention to the situation of Alyssa and others.

In fact, this is a major flaw in Luo's cognition in his previous life. At that time, Luo Sheng was too focused on improving his own combat ability and professional level, and he didn't care too much about other things that had nothing to do with strength improvement. For Luo Sheng at that time, this choice was not wrong, but for Luo Sheng now, he can't ignore these politicians. After all, the path to be taken in this life is different from that of being alone in the previous life, and if you want to establish your own power, you will inevitably have to contact, cooperate, and even confront and compromise with other forces. In such a situation, it will not work to focus solely on power growth and refuse to engage with political forces.

However, even if Luo Sheng is ignorant of political matters and does not pay attention to them, he knows that it is by no means a simple matter for a formal state to canonize nobles. For a commoner to become a nobleman, he not only needs to have enough merit, but also needs the support of the upper echelons and cumbersome procedures. Even if the merit is outstanding, it will take quite a long time to really go through the procedure and truly become a nobleman.

And now it's just over two days before the battle with the fish-man ends. The fleet had just been repaired, and before it entered the Snow Dragon Pass, his title badge and canonization documents had already been delivered to him. From the royal capital to here, the distance is more than 1,000 miles, and even if you use the fastest flying eagle to deliver these things, it will take more than half a day.

In other words, more than a day after receiving the war report, the crown prince completed all the procedures for canonizing nobles and helped himself become a lord. This speed, even if it is largely because of the face of the Duke of Marcia and the Baron of Cook, the crown prince's overtures to himself and his intention to win over him have been undoubtedly revealed.

"Thank you, Your Highness the Crown Prince, for your kindness. Please Captain Eden help me thank His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I, like Baron Cook, are loyal to the orthodoxy of the Elson royal family, and I believe that in the future, under the leadership of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Elson will get better and better. Of course, thank you, Captain Eden, for your recommendation. After receiving the badge and documents representing the crown prince's goodwill in Eden's hand, Luo Sheng responded solemnly.

Now that the crown prince has expressed his goodwill, Luo Sheng will certainly not refuse this kind of wooing. After all, strictly speaking, he and Baron Cook are both in the Crown Prince Raymond family. Without the support of this crown prince, who holds part of the royal background of Elson, the Holy See of Light may have used other means to deal with Baron Cook and the others. So for this thigh sent to the door, Luo Sheng still has to hold it tightly.

"Hehe, I will definitely convey your words to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Originally, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince wanted you to go to the royal capital and hold a grand award ceremony for you, but considering the current situation in Xuelongguan, Luo Sheng, you may not have time, so I sent the badge and documents over first. After this battle, the crown prince will definitely make up for the ceremony for you. Hearing Luo Sheng's statement, Eden said happily: "But whether there is this ceremony or not, Luo Sheng, you are officially Lord Elson, and you are our own people." ”

Although he didn't have much contact, after carefully inspecting the remaining battlefields in the dark lake, Eden not only didn't dare to underestimate Luo Sheng, who was less than seventeen years old, but had a faint awe of this genius boy. After all, judging from the situation on the battlefield, Luo Sheng alone killed a silver-level cold-light sage, two silver-level cold-light prophets, three silver-level fish-man guards, and nearly twenty bronze-level fish-man spellcasters.

To be honest, the strength of the fish-man arranged in the dark hole is no weaker than the golden rank of the fish-man nightcrawler. The real threat to the fleet is even greater than that of the Fish-Man Nightcrawlers. But it was such a force that was enough to pose a threat to the Golden Rank, but it was overturned by Luo Sheng alone. Even if Luo Sheng used some auxiliary means such as alchemy elixirs, this was enough to show Luo Sheng's strength. So when reporting the battle situation to the crown prince, Eden described in detail Rason's ability, merits and background, coupled with Marcia's attitude, which led to the matter of being knighted quickly.

In theory, Eden's approach is a bit risky. If Luo Sheng refuses this kindness, then for the crown prince's family, it will lose face, and even become a pretext for other factions to attack the crown prince. Fortunately, Luo Sheng accepted this kindness as soon as possible, and made it clear that he supported the crown prince, so that Eden's previous efforts were not in vain.

"Of course. We're already our own. I would like to ask for your kind attention from Captain Eden in the future. Luo Sheng said with a smile.

Although he doesn't know much about Crown Prince Raymond so far, just looking at the other party's decisiveness and efficiency in the matter of knighthood, Luo Sheng can basically judge that the other party is at least not a mediocre person. Coupled with the fact that the other party can make Baron Cook and characters like Marcia willing to work for it, even with the bonus of being the crown prince, he is at least in the middle and upper ranks.

For Luo Sheng, in order to gain a foothold in the Kingdom of Elson and obtain a fief, he must choose a political force to take refuge in. In addition to the crown prince's lineage, whether it is the second prince, the local nobles, or the Holy See of Light, it is impossible to accept Luo Sheng, so it is inevitable to join the crown prince, and there is no need to hesitate.

"Haha, when it comes to care, I'm afraid it's the other way around. I will also stay in Snow Dragon Pass during this time to assist Baron Cook in his defense. I'm a newcomer, and I'd like to ask you, Brother Luosheng, the prospective son-in-law of the Cook family, to take more care of me. Eden put his arm around Rason's shoulders and said with a smile.

"Captain Eden is going to lead the team to stay? That's great. What about Lord Marcia?" Luo Sheng asked with a slight movement in his heart.

Although Eden is only a silver rank, he is proficient in the art of animal taming, and has three powerful animal companions, an amphibious crocodile, a giant eagle soaring high in the sky, and a cheetah capable of stealth. Therefore, Eden will stay in Xuelongguan and play a considerable role in the future.

However, compared to Eden, who is versatile and versatile, Luo Sheng is more concerned about Marcia's movements. This female god of war, whose combat power is close to the legendary level, is definitely a chess piece that is enough to change the situation. Her whereabouts will directly affect the next situation in Xuelongguan.

"I'm afraid Lord Marcia can't stay. After all, she is the commander of the Kingsguard, and her duty is to guard the palace. It only takes a few days to join the transport fleet this time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can still operate, barely able to cope with the past. But if you want to stay in Xuelongguan for a few months, I'm afraid that the rest of the royal capital will definitely not agree. Eden said with some regret.

Eden also understands the danger of the situation in Xuelongguan this year. If Marcia could be on board, the risk would undoubtedly be much smaller. After all, with this combat power close to the Legendary Rank in charge, it would be difficult to break through the defenses of the Snow Dragon Pass unless the barbarians violated the continental peace treaty and used the power of the Legendary Rank. In that case, the danger to yourself will undoubtedly be much less.

But Eden also understands that the possibility is almost zero. Whether it was the Second Prince and the Holy See of Light, who wanted to weaken the power of the Snow Dragon Pass, or the duties of Marcia herself, it was impossible for Marcia to be allowed to stay in the Snow Dragon Pass for longer. In fact, as soon as the fleet reached the Snow Dragon Pass, Masia would immediately return to the royal capital.

"Is Marcia going to return to the royal capital?Can His Royal Highness the Crown Prince send other masters to Snow Dragon Pass to take control?" Luo Sheng continued to ask.

"I'm afraid it's going to be hard. Eden shook his head and said helplessly: "Luo Sheng, you are already your own person, and I am not afraid to tell you." At present, the king is seriously ill and can no longer handle state affairs. Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in charge of the country, he has not yet fully obtained the inheritance of the royal family, and can only use part of the heritage. During this time, it is the most dangerous time, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must ensure that he has enough guards around him. Letting Lord Marcia make a move this time was already a risky act. Next, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can no longer give more assistance to Xuelongguan, and we can only rely on ourselves. ”

As one of the captains of the crown prince's personal guard, Eden is considered a real confidant of Crown Prince Raymond, so he is very clear about the situation. After being reminded by Baron Cook, the crown prince has taken precautions against the actions of the second prince and the Holy See of Light, but the situation in the royal capital is not very optimistic.

In addition to the majesty of the centuries-old royal family, the Elson family was able to sit on the throne more because of the legacy left by the legendary ancestors and the loyalty guaranteed by the Rex family through a blood contract. Under normal circumstances, other nobles, even behemoths like the Benson family, would not have the ability to challenge the royal family.

But after the second prince threw himself into the arms of the Holy See of Light, the situation changed subtly. Most of the authority of the Elson family is still in the hands of the seriously ill king, although because the king cannot govern, the inheritance has automatically begun to transfer to Crown Prince Raymond, but this will take a process. And in this process, the second prince is also qualified to compete for the authority of the foundation.

And the Elson family relies on the other side, although the Rex family, which has been loyal for generations because of the bloodline contract, will not betray, but also because of the bloodline contract, it cannot deeply intervene in the internal struggle of the royal family. Therefore, if the second prince takes a risk with the support of the Holy See of Light, the crown prince has no certainty of victory, and all must gather forces to protect himself.

But if something happens here at Xuelongguan, it will be equally unfavorable for the crown prince. After all, Elson is now the crown prince, and during his reign, there was a huge failure of the Snow Dragon Pass being breached, and the loss of royal power is one thing, the key is that the second prince can use this to worship the ancestral spirit, and use the incompetence of the crown prince as a reason to compete for the authority of the royal family, and then seize the throne.

So for Crown Prince Raymond, whether it is the royal capital or the Snow Dragon Pass, there is no room for error. And this is also the main reason why the crown prince quickly canonized Luo Sheng. Wooing the genius of Luo Sheng is one thing, with the help of giving Luo Sheng a knight, and at the same time winning over the Cook family and Marcia, it can also be used to inspire soldiers from civilian backgrounds, which can be described as killing multiple birds with one stone.

"I see. But even without support, we can hold the Snow Dragon Pass. Under Eden's gaze, Luo Sheng did not show a frustrated, fearful look, and still responded with confidence.

Eden revealed this, both to explain himself and to test himself. With the hole cards in hand, Luo Sheng naturally would not be afraid of the power of the Bright Sect and the Second Prince, so he was not afraid of this kind of test.

"Hehe, seeing that Luo Sheng is so confident, I am also relieved. ”
