His Highness Randall did what he said, saying that leaving Dane alone on the road was not a lie. Once something like this happened, Dane didn't think he would be able to return to the glorious human realm alive.

In the face of His Highness Randall's stern warning, Dane nodded and said with a smile: "Your Highness, you are right, according to the practice of field exploration, there can only be one leader in the team. My unauthorized actions may jeopardize the safety of the team, and you have the right to exile me...... I assure you that I will never make my own decisions again!, but I think it is necessary to explain to Lord Nelson what makes the elves special to the Randalls. ”

The core members of Randall's Expeditionary Force are obedient to the Lord, but when they learn that the Elves will go to great lengths to kidnap their allegiance to their allegiance masters, they will probably beg Victor to avoid contact with the Elves as much as possible as Priest Dain did.

Dane uses a roundabout approach to show Victor that his self-assertion is done with good intentions, and at least he quietly disposes of the halfling scouts to help Victor and his followers stay united. If he had informed Nelson and the others of his concerns beforehand, they would have supported Dane's views and thus disagreed with Victor.

As an "outsider", Dane took the initiative to carry the black cauldron and do dirty work, wanting to quietly cut off the potential connection between His Highness Randall and the elven race, but he was facing the scolding of the Raging Wind Sword Saint at the moment, his posture and tone showed humility and respect, and his eyes wandered. Victor could see in his eyes an unshakable will - the priest realized that his own power was not enough to control the potentially dangerous situation, and that he was not qualified to give advice in the eyes of His Highness Randall, so he planned to unite with the members of the Randall family to try to prevent His Highness from getting in touch with the elves.

He wasn't just talking about how he was going to tell Nelson about what had happened, and he decided to do it, even if it was exile.

Dane gave Victor the impression of being sleek and ambitious, more like a court minister than a priest, but his open-mindedness changed Victor's opinion of him. Victor couldn't help but think of the old Marquis Bastern, the former court minister of the Kite Castle, the old nobleman who held the power of the old nobleman who had resisted Sylvia's pressure and paid with his life. Bastern is for the interests of the Kite Castle, and Dane is for the interests of the Church.

People with faith are really not easy to deal with...... Victor was secretly amused, he also hated the trouble that the elves might bring him, but there was no need to explain it to Dane, he only asked, "Why didn't you tell Nelson about them before?"

The priest leaned over slightly and explained sincerely, "Frankly, I don't know what they think of the elves, and I'm worried that His Highness's followers will tell His Highness about my plan to exterminate the halfling scouts, after all, Lord Nelson and Lady Charlotte are loyal to you." If His Royal Highness is abducted by the elves and becomes the elven emperor, he will surely take them with him. After all, none of them are high-level knights with a strong will, and if Mistress Trisley were in this team, I would definitely consult with her. ”

"Of course, Your Highness's eyes are like torches, and my little plan is not worth mentioning in your eyes. Now that Your Highness has seen through my intentions, I can only hope that Lord Nelson and Lady Charlotte will try to persuade Your Highness as much as possible, taking into account the overall situation. He added.

"Whatever you want, as long as you stop trying to deceive me. Victor nodded, looked at the prairie fox that was running back to the camp, and asked curiously, "By the way, how do you know that the fox can find the halfling thief?"

Seeing His Royal Highness Randall's kind attitude, Dane finally breathed a sigh of relief, took two steps forward and explained with a smile: "Your Highness, this is a secret story more than forty years ago. You know that halflings are used to living dependent on humans, barbarians, and elves. Due to the blood sacrifice wars waged by ancient sorcerers, the halflings living in the human city-states were either killed by the sorcerers or fled. Until now, halflings have been almost invisible in the kingdoms, but they are not completely absent...... The Grand Lord of the Borui Kingdom often sends elite knight squads to infiltrate the Gogen Barbarian Kingdom on the Southern Continent to carry out missions to detect, destroy, capture barbarians, and rescue human captives. Not only did they capture barbarians, but they also captured a scarce number of halflings. ”

"The halflings are cute, good at singing and dancing, good at cooking and handicraft, and very cute. Lord Borui would keep halflings in his home to serve as chamberlains, but few people knew that halflings were proficient in theft. ”

In order to mend the relationship with His Highness Randall, Todd gushed endlessly: "More than forty years ago, the Duke of Grimoch family of the Borui Kingdom lost a strange artifact from the Age of the Chosen One, and the Golden Knight Guardian of the Grimmock family claimed to the church that the Peter family sent halfling thieves to steal their family's ancient artifact. ”

Hearing this, Victor felt a sudden shock in his heart and asked, "Grimok...... Isn't that the family of His Royal Highness Andre Christ, the Golden Knight, who lost some ancient artifact to accuse the Church of the theft by the Halflings of the Peter family?"

Dane paused, shook his head, and said, "As far as I know, the strange thing that the Grimoch family lost was a Mithril wine cup made by an ancient wizard. Rumor has it that the goblet could help the knights of the Gremok family advance to the Gold Rank, but the Gremok family never acknowledged it. However, since this family with an ancient surname was promoted to the Grand Duke of the Borui Kingdom, almost every generation of family guardians has been a golden knight, and there have even been two golden knights at the same time, such as Andre and his brother have been promoted to the golden rank. ”

"Mithril wine glass?" Victor frowned thoughtfully, his interest in ancient curiosities was mostly limited to elemental rune crystals.

"Yes, I listened to the conversation between His Majesty the Pope and Teacher Perot, and that's what they said. Dane nodded, and continued, "The Grimoch family approached the Duke of Peter, but the Peter family refused to admit to the theft. When negotiations failed, the Grand Duke of Grimoch had no choice but to ask the Holy See to intervene. But the Peter family still refused to admit that they had stolen the goblet. The guardian of the Grimoch family, in front of the Archbishop of the College of Cardinals and the magistrate of the Inquisition, used a dozen old foxes to force out the halfling thieves of the Peter family......."

The halfling thief confessed that he had been ordered by Alonso Peter to go to Grimoch's house and steal the strange wine glass. When there is human and material evidence, this matter can be regarded as clear. ”

Dane said complacently, "I've heard about it, too, and it just so happens that Emerson has a prairie fox, and his tent has never been visited by thieves. I wanted to see if the old fox could find out the halfling thieves in the camp, but I didn't expect it to work. ”

"I see...... Let's go, let's go back to camp. Victor nodded, and asked casually as he walked, "I heard that Alonso Peter is the brother of the current Grand Duke Peter, who later disappeared during the raid on the Gaugan barbarians, and his fiancée, Miss Eligia Wimbledon, married Duke Peter?"

Pastor Dane was half a shoulder behind Victor and said, "Alonso's disappearance and the halfling theft are all related, as well as Eligia...... Your Highness, you may not know that Alonso and Archduke Peter are actually half-brothers, Alonso is the eldest son of the Duchess and Duchess of Peter, and now the Grand Duke of Peter is the golden knight of the Grimoak family and the child born to Alonso's aunt, that is, the youngest sister of the old Duke of Peter. Alonso's aunt gave birth to the offspring of the Golden Knight as a trainee female knight, cut off the knighthood, and died early. Old Duke Peter raised his sister and Grimoch's children as the second son of the family. ”

"In fact, Alonso and this generation of Duke Peter are cousins, but the purity of their knightly blood is completely different. Alonso Peter was only promoted to junior knight at the age of 22, and Duke Peter, who was half a year younger than him, was already a senior knight and could be promoted to silver knight at any time. ”

"I suspect that Alonso was under a lot of pressure, but his beautiful fiancée, Miss Eligia Wimbledon, seemed to be fond of his cousin and lukewarm to him. That's why Alonso hid from the old duke and asked his halfling attendants to steal Peter's family's strange wine glasses, causing great trouble. Because of this incident, Alonso was incorporated into the knight squad by the Peter family at a young age to carry out a particularly dangerous infiltration mission, and then he disappeared in the Southern Continent. His younger brother Akrisil Peter became the first heir to Peter's family, and married the beautiful Moon Elf noblewoman Eligia. ”

This rumor is related to Raymond Peter, and Victor can't help but be interested in learning more about it, and says as if jokingly: "So, Grand Duke Peter and André are half-brothers, and they have the knightly blood of the Grimoch family in their veins? Otherwise, how could the Gremoks find the heads of the Peter family if they lost their strange wine glasses? They also knew that it was the halfling thieves who forced the halfling thieves out with the old fox...... It is not easy for the descendants of the Golden Knight to be promoted to the Golden Rank, and Acricil Peter used the Gremok's Strange Wine Cup, which makes sense to be promoted to the Golden Knight. The Church came forward to investigate the matter, and everyone was stolen, and the old Duke Peter had no choice but to let the eldest son, who was the Bronze Horseman, go on a dangerous spy mission. Now, the bloodline heirs of the Grimoch family are in charge of the Peter family, which looks like a conspiracy no matter how you look at it. ”

Dane shrugged his shoulders and said, "The specific inside story is only known to the parties concerned, and we can guess in private...... However, I think the core members of Peter's family are also inseparable from this matter. After all, they need the Golden Knight Guardian, otherwise why would the previous Duke Peter sacrifice his youngest sister, not for the bloodline of Grimoch and the special effects of the Strange Wine Cup?"

"The current Grand Duke Peter and the Gremok family are indeed related by blood, but he will never betray the interests of the Peter family, which belongs to his faith and fate. ”

Victor nodded and said, "Andre was also born in the Grimoch family, and he married the eldest daughter of the Crist family, one of the five major families of Borui, and became the guardian of the Crist family...... It seems that the bloodline of the Grimok family has always maintained the core layer of the Borui Kingdom. ”

Dane said: "Grimok may not be voluntary, if the rumors of the Strange Thing Wine Glass are true, the Great Lord of Borui will naturally not let Grimoch enjoy the extraordinary effect of the Strange Wine Cup alone, and the exchange of bloodlines should be a way to resolve the disagreements within the Great Lord of Borui." ”

Victor suddenly stopped and said slowly: "Since the establishment of the Borui United Kingdom, the Seuss have been infiltrating Borui, and the Borui lords are generally married to the Seuss nobles, and the five ruling families have maintained an in-law relationship with the Seuss royal family. However, the kingdom of Borui was able to maintain its independence and was not dismembered and annexed by the Seuss. It can be seen that the influence of the Seuss royal family has not entered the power core of the five major families of Borui. ”

Dane followed behind Victor and greeted him, "Your Highness is wise...... Alonso Peter's mother was the daughter of the royal family of Eleano, while his younger brother, Duke Aclesil Peter, had no direct contact with the royal family of Souss. Now that Alonso has disappeared in the Southern Continent, Duke Akrisil Peter has become the ruling king of the United Kingdom of Bore. The kingdom of Borui under his leadership was both a traditional ally and a rival to the Seuss. Such a foreign policy has never changed for the Borui people. ”

Victor didn't expect that the restrained relationship between the old fox and the halfling could involve the secrets of the Borui Kingdom. The so-called strange wine glass may be a rumor, but it is also true that the Golden Knight often appears in the family of the five dukes of Borui. There must be some unusual connection between this and the Grimok family. That unlucky guy of the Peter family, Alonso, is actually a victim of the Borui Kingdom's open and secret struggle with the Lord of Seuss, who made his mother a noblewoman of Seuss?

With this alone, it would be impossible for Grand Lord Borui to allow Alonso to succeed the Peter family, who were about to rule.

And Raymond Peter's father, André's half-brother, Archduke Peter, must be the first choice to represent the United Kingdom of Boremor, because of his blood from the Gremok family.

Victor is not interested in the grievances of Peter's family, let alone the missing Alonso Peter, he is only interested in the outlet of the Borui Kingdom. The fleet of the Centaur Hills wanted to enter the sea from the waters controlled by the Borui, and the Bori Lord had to compromise. It's a pity that Victor doesn't have time to trouble Duke Peter now, he smiled and said to Dane: "This time, you make your own decisions, I don't care about you, and I might as well tell you that I didn't want to contact the elves in person...... So, just if you owe me a favor, you will do me a favor in the future. ”

Dain paused for a moment and asked suspiciously, "I don't know what kind of help His Highness wants me to help?"

Victor's eyes turned cold, and he said lightly: "The two brothers, Andre and Duke Peter, once designed my beloved wife Sophia, and wanted to take her away from me and force her to stay in the Borui Kingdom...... When I clean up the Ant-Man monster, I must settle this old account with Grand Duke Peter. ”

Dane was dumbfounded when he heard this, and said, "Your Highness, how can I be qualified to meddle in this kind of thing?"

Victor patted Dane on the shoulder and laughed, "Are you still afraid that you are not qualified after we go back?" I can tell you that it is not a coincidence that two halfling scouts were able to meet us on the prairie. If I'm not mistaken, it was Bell who brought them in...... As for Bell, why do you think Lord Miller loves her so much, and why do I have her with me?"

"Let's go, let's go to the camp and see those two mischievous halflings. ”
