It was late at night, the stars were dim, and Link was as fast as a galloping horse, and the guards patrolling below heard the movement and looked up at the vague outline of the roof, and he was no longer visible.

Link ran into the second floor, then reached for the lord's living room.

Lord Viscount Eddie was sleeping soundly with a beautiful woman beside him.

Link pressed the dagger against Viscount Addy's neck, knocked the woman unconscious, and said, "Add, don't scream." ”

"You!?who are you?" Eddie's voice showed that he was still calm.

"It was you, who killed the Duke, didn't you?"

The corners of Eddie's mouth curled into a mocking arc as he said, "I, my rank is lower than Farfil, Birelli, and Bnicol, and what good will I do if I kill the Duke?"

"Well, go on. ”

"What did you say? I didn't do it! I don't have anything to say. If you were sent by Reilly, I can only admit it, if you were sent by Fafel, go and tell Fafel, beware of Reilly, this guy has collusion with the orcs, the sworn enemies of our Antler family!"

Link was shocked, this news was too unexpected for him, colluding with the orcs, which in the eyes of the Northlanders of Gurudin, was like a translator during the Anti-Japanese War.

Link gave Eddie a deep look, instinctively feeling that this man was not as easy to deal with as he appeared.

Perhaps, he has something else to rely on.

If he is really an assassin, it is estimated that he has a method to get out and kill back.

Not to mention anyone else, it was him Link himself, if an assassin dared to appear within sixty feet of him, he could kill them a hundred times without losing a hair himself.

Link nodded and said, "I see, farewell." ”

"Wait. Add suddenly spoke up, "Do you know the power of Reilly?"

Link's heart moved, and he said, "What power?"

Add had a look of fear in his eyes and said, "Fire, a demonic flame that can devour everything! This is still a small show when he colludes with the orcs. ”

Link nodded.

Nichol, then, Eddie, may have known that Reilly was going to attack, and instead of informing the Duke, they secretly cooperated with their men.

The real mastermind is likely to be Northland Fox Reilly.

But this speculation doesn't seem to match the nickname of the Fox of the Northland.

Like the old fox and the little fox, they all carry the black pot on their backs and eat meat by themselves.

How is it possible to do it yourself?

So, there must be an inducement.

So what is the inducement, apparently, because of the distribution of Mithril Ore or, more daringly, the discovery of another, more massive Mithril Mine!

Link couldn't help but feel a little proud of the flexibility of his mind, how could a student who had received a modern double-first-class university education be intellectually pressed down by the natives of a backward magical world?

It's not that his intelligence is 16 points, and 8 points is 80 IQ, and then every 1 point higher IQ is calculated as 9 points higher, which is an IQ of 152, although Link has not measured IQ, but he has affirmed that he is a smart person with an IQ of 152 at this moment.

Well, how to seek benefits.

The princess is ostensibly the acting lord of the Antlers, but in fact, there is a lot of danger.

Reilly's power must have been in the near future.

You see, even Eddie was forced to put himself in danger, and Nichole was so frightened that the guards doubled, and only the stupid Peno, who thought he had invincible power.

Link didn't have to go to Nichole anymore, he basically made a decision.

After listening to Link's report, Princess Faffil's expression was very helpless and frustrated, she said: "That's him, if it was Nicol or Eddie, I still have a way to avenge my father, but it's him! He is the deputy commander of the Blizzard Legion, and he is the actual controller of the Legion, I can't mobilize the Blizzard Legion to avenge my father, instead, he can mobilize the Blizzard Legion to kill me." What should I do?"

Link smiled slightly and said, "This is the most testing time! Do you risk your life to avenge your father, or swallow your anger and return to Deer Hunting City to be your countess, the power of this choice is all on you!"

Link was confident that he had already expressed his eyes of encouragement, and as long as the princess was determined to avenge her father, Link would naturally do everything in his power to avenge the benevolent old lord.

But there was a look of anticipation in Princess Fafil's eyes, and she said, "You will always support me, will you, no matter what I decide." ”

As soon as Link looked at it, he understood that he finally recognized the princess's heart, and the answer shocked him. He shook his head with difficulty, and said, "I don't want to lie, if Reilly's preparation is really that well, then it is clear that your forced departure from the Duke's Castle will happen in the near future." You have almost no chance of winning against him, and if that is the case, whether you can continue to be the Earl of Deer Hunt depends on his face. It's just that if you really endure it, it's not impossible. What's your choice?"

Princess Fafil took a step back, her eyes filled with tears, and said, "I, I really don't know. ”

Link said regretfully: "You have made a choice, for me, whether to avenge my father or not, the answer will never be to know." I won't give up because the other party is strong. ”

Princess Fafil was furious at once, and said, "You look down on me!"

Link let go of his expectations for the princess in his heart, and said lightly: "No, no, after all, you are just a woman." ”

Princess Fafil muttered, "I'm just a woman, after all, I'm sorry, Dad, I'm sorry." Woo woo woo~!"

Link's expression stiffened, and he said, "It seems that if you make this choice, you will definitely not choose to marry me, right?"

Princess Fafil said, "I...... When I give birth to an heir to my husband, I can be your lover. ”

Link finally extinguished his expectations for the princess, this kind of woman is definitely not the choice of life partner, he sighed and said, "Let's talk about it later." Farewell. ”

Link, in his heart, completely let go of his love for Princess Fafel, obviously, this princess is indeed the indigenous noblewoman of this universe, weak, and, truly ruthless.

It is also easy to understand that a lord is strong enough, and if his wife is also strong, the family will not last.

Therefore, the love between knights and princesses is promoted, the knights are mighty and heroic, and the princesses are beautiful and generous, and the birds are human. But after marrying, after giving birth to the heir of the family, the aristocratic women are as romantic as men.

Link sighed, he was not a master in the underworld, but only the chief head of the Bronze Bull Tavern.

One of the most valuable mercenaries.

Sure enough, the avenue of this universe is a lord knight, not any other force.

Just like the Red Dynasty of the Earth, officials are always above merchants, and the Philo universe, big and small lords, is always above merchants.

If you want to become a person with power, no matter what power it is, whether it is power or magic power, divine power, or witch power, you must follow the torrent in order to travel thousands of miles every day.

Otherwise, the consequences of sailing against the current are sad and lamentable.

Link returned to the Bronze Bull Tavern, sat down in the chair he used to sit in, and snapped his fingers, "Hughes, get the boss here." ”

Soon, Fat Dundun's face was flushed, and the boss who was like a cook better than a mercenary appeared.

"Boss, do you have a way, I want to buy a piece of territory nearby. ”

The fat boss said: "You have saved enough money, but the territory is attached to the title, which is not easy to buy." The only thing you can buy is the Lord of Ghost Valley in the westernmost part of Deer Hunting City. It is said that the mountain people of the valley have seen ghosts haunt the fields, and as a result, the number of people is becoming scarcer and scarcer. Now, although it is a land with an area of 35 square kilometers and 30,000 acres of fertile land, there are only about 300 people. Not even the most ordinary knight collar. And because of the huge area, the price of that piece of land is not low, at least 60,000 gold coins before it is sold. ”

Link was surprised, and said, "Sixty thousand kindlers, not even a lord?

The fat boss nodded and said, "Who says it's not? It's too expensive, it's ridiculously expensive." ”

Link nodded heavily under today's stimulus and said, "As long as you make me a lord, I am willing to buy it!"

The fat boss said: "Okay, you don't wash your hands dry, you should have a decent identity." Trading this territory is just the bonus we give you, and we don't take 20% of the intermediary fee. That's it, you wait for the news. ”

Link smiled and said, "Although I am retired, you also know my true identity, if there is any trouble, notify me." If I can help, I will help. ”

The fat boss patted Link on the arm and said, "In a word, brother." ”

The fat boss's respect for Link is obviously from the heart, this is the harvest of Link every time he completes a seemingly impossible task, trust and respect, all from the results of your work.

Although he was a pink intern before the crossing, Link also knew this truth.

Where Link sits, slowly eating the hump, the hump is dry, but eating it in winter is a great replenishment.

The taste of fatty meat ripples in the mouth, and the wine is sweet and sweet.

It was a pleasant evening for Link, as many nights after he gained his powers, carefree, but Link felt as if an ominous calamity was approaching.

On the plate, the silver fork shimmered silver in the flickering candlelight, and Link wiped his lips and said, "Hughes, are you planning to retire?"

Hughes is Chinese New Year's Eve years old and has been working for Link for four years, and Hughes said, "This is a good feeling, chief, or you take care of the elderly." Among all the horses, you admire me the most, and I will serve you wholeheartedly, and my family and descendants will also serve the chief family and descendants for generations to come. ”

Link smiled and said, "When I become a lord, I will make you a servant." ”

Xius grinned and laughed, "Master Hu, obediently, in my hometown, you can marry a second wife." ”

He went happily.

Seeing him beckoning people everywhere, it was obvious that he was planning to recruit some henchmen and go with him.

As for whether his future mansion will become a den of thieves, Link has nothing to worry about.

The era of Duke Antlers has come to an end, and the brief reign of Princess Fafil will obviously come to an end soon, so you, walking to the edge of the political arena in the Northlands, and trying to perform the first dance move, will be tomorrow.

Tomorrow, it will be wonderful, it will be wonderful, but what is the feeling of the sword of Damocles hanging over the head?

Link, playing with the glass in his hand, inadvertently, with a slight force in his hand, the glass cracked a crack.
