Chapter 211: Roland's Sword
, Victor tapped lightly on the countertop, thinking about the key point of the matter. He didn't think that the Sassangian Empire had such a powerful intelligence capability that it could control this series of changes. There are no cell phones or bugs here, so how can the Sassarians pass information undetected? However, there are also supernatural powers in this world, and if there are wizards in the Sassan Empire, things make sense. Although the Sassang Empire is controlled by the paladin camp, the bottom limit of the paladins is obviously inferior to that of the priests, and it is not impossible to kill the wizards after using them.
Thinking of this, Victor thought of the wizard who murdered the little baron, and Raymond Peter. Originally, he planned to wait for the old spy Barol to return and secretly investigate the matter. But Sylvia taught him a lesson, the more he pursues, the more likely he is to fall into a deeper trap, so it is better to respond to all changes with the same, work hard to develop his own strength, and then directly crush the past.
Victor froze, a confident smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and asked, "Honey, what do you need me to do?"
Sylvia bowed her jaw and said, "I am telling you so much to make you understand that the royal family needs us, and we also need the support of Gambis. The royal family asked Prince Edward to be a hostage, which is their sincerity. ”
"I really didn't expect Queen Catherine to have such courage!" sighed Victor.
Sylvia pursed her lips and said, "There's no way Catherine can arrange for Sauron to come over as a hostage, and Williams doesn't have the ability to let Edward go with Sauron. This is clearly Roland's style, and she is always so unexpected. ”
"Victor, the royal family has shown sincerity, and now it's our turn. ”
Victor spread his hands and said, "I will go to the royal capital to be questioned by the Senate." ”
Sylvia glared at Victor and said exaggeratedly, "What kind of sincerity is this? Austin was killed by you, and Judy was also occupied by you, so you should have been questioned." ”
Victor was almost choked with a mouthful of old blood, obviously a hero's deeds to save beauty, but was said by Sylvia to be a bully of men and women, but in the face of Sylvia's resentful eyes, Victor knew that she was pretending, but still felt a sense of weakness, so he had to say sullenly: "Then what should I do? After eight years of work, they simply did not have the conditions to implement the new farming and animal husbandry system. ”
Sylvia nodded, but instead of taking over the topic, she said, "Marquis Goron has asked Viscount Squire Escre to bring a letter that he is going to exchange a territory for Baron Esker, and the barony will be taken over by us. However, I need to pay 150,000 gold soles. ”
Victor was impressed, Baron Escree's domain was only 3,000 square kilometers in size, but it divided the Randall Domain from the Duke of York, and was a strategic support point for the royal family, especially the artificial canal plan. Sylvia has been secretly plotting against the Barony of Escre, but she didn't expect the royal family to give up this territory on her own initiative.
"See? That's the sincerity of the Augustian family. Goron used his domain to settle Baron Escre, and handed over the barony to me, hoping that I would not leave Prince Edward in trouble. Sylvia held Victor's hand and said seriously: "I will not leave Prince Edward as a hostage, nor will I send a knight to escort you to the royal capital, your safety will be completely handed over to the Auguste family, will you be afraid?"
Victor grabbed Sylvia's soft with his backhand and said lightly, "What's there to be afraid of?"
Sylvia let her lover rub her slender hand, and said with a smile: "Actually, the more I nervous you, the more dangerous you are." Acting in perfect accordance with the kingdom system can make those with bad intentions die. As far as the current situation is concerned, the royal family wants to ensure your safety. ”
"That's true. Victor nodded.
"Prince Edward returns to the capital after a month in the Centaur Hills, but Sauron will remain in his realm until you return. Sylvia let out a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Roland's personality is a little ...... Eccentric, but her whimsical ideas are as amazing as her swordsmanship. This time, she shot straight to the crux of the problem, and the political situation in Gambis was stable. ”
Seeing that Victor was confused, Sylvia explained, "The church recognizes the right of succession by blood, while the lord pursues the system of primogeniture. According to the rules, Roland is the first in line to the throne, Williams is the second in line, Williams' eldest son is the third in line, and Edward, as the second son of the first prince, has the right to inherit after Roland and the Williams family. However, Roland wanted Edward to inherit the throne, and she dominated the status of the crown prince, neither ascending the throne as queen, nor allowing Williams to ascend the throne, which caused political turmoil. ”
"Why did the eldest princess do this?" asked Victor curiously.
Sylvia shook her head and sighed, "The excellent descendants of the Augustian family have always played their cards out of common sense. Ryan is well aware that Roland has no intention of taking the throne, and he has repeatedly stated in private that he wants to make Edward the crown prince, and has consulted many people. Considering the longevity and bloodline of the Golden Knight, Williams did not explicitly object, but he did not expect Ryan to die young, Edward has not grown up, and Williams wants to turn the tide, of course, he has to fight for the throne. Roland, on the other hand, insisted on Ryan's last wish. ”
Roland showed her sincerity by taking Edward hostage. Goron's replacement of the Escre family's territory was also a support for Edward. In the face of the concessions of the two highnesses, how could I detain Edward? The statements of the three peak knights of the Gambis are enough to put Edward on the throne!"
"I see. Victor nodded, and couldn't help but ask again: "Archduke Williams is out like this, won't the forces behind him rebound? Especially the church ....."
"That's where Roland is great. ”
"If there wasn't a threat from Ant-Man, the church would have been happy to support Williams, but right now they just want stability," Sylvia said. This Austen's incident made Goron realize that the instability of the royal family would lead to internal and external troubles, so he made up his mind to support Edward and maintain the authority of the royal family by the way. Sauron accompanied Edward on his tour of the Centaur Hills, representing the extension of Williams' influence to Edward's side, which meant that Williams would become Edward's guardian and regent of Gambis. Apparently, Williams has agreed. ”
The eldest princess of Roland, grasping the crux of the problem, skillfully used the crisis of trust and the influence of the Golden Knight, and resolved the dilemma of Gambis with a simple move. This sharp eye and understatement made Victor amazed.
Sylvia took Victor's hand and said tenderly, "My dear, the 150,000 gold sol, you come out." ”
150,000 gold soles is a huge amount of money, and Victor only has 120,000 gold soles in cash now, but considering the territory of 3,000 square kilometers, he quickly calculated his income, gritted his teeth and said: "Okay! I'll go out!" However, in the next second, Sylvia knocked him into the sky again.
"The territory is mine. ”
Seeing Victor's stunned appearance, Sylvia withdrew her slender hand and said coldly, "If you can give Judy a manor, can't you give me a piece of territory?"
Victor was speechless, and although Sylvia was flirting with him, she was actually defending the interests of the York family. The Eskri Territory, which is small in size, but completely borders the Buryat Territory. The York family obtained this territory in order to supervise the affairs of the Buryat territory, so as not to let Victor cover the sky with one hand.
Seeing that Sylvia was looking at him with a smirk, Victor gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll give it to you." ”
Sylvia gave Victor a charming look, her red lips lightly opened, and said, "It's pretty much the same. It's not in vain that I've secured a castle and 1,000 square kilometers of territory for you in the north. ”
Victor was overjoyed and asked, "You and the Duoduo have redivided the sphere of influence in the north, and you are coming for another 1,000 square kilometers of territory?"
Sylvia nodded slightly, got up and sat on Victor's lap, put her arms around his neck, and said softly: "You are going to the royal capital soon, and it will be a few months to leave...... Tonight, you belong to me!"
Victor's heart fluttered, picked up Sylvia's slender waist and long legs, and walked towards the bedroom with the noble and charming female golden knight in his arms.
——————————
The next morning.
Sylvia stood silently on the tower of Castle Black, watching Victor's convoy move east.
Trisley looked into Sylvia's misty eyes and said beside her, "Do you want me to escort Victor secretly?"
Sylvia shook her head slightly, and Trisley asked, "You finally ran into a popular archer who embodied the Void Element, so you don't worry about his accident?"
The continuation of the Golden Knight's bloodline is a family matter, and even if there is little hope, the upper echelons of the York family must try it. For political purposes, it was very unwise for Victor to go to the royal capital as an independent lord, which was very unwise in the eyes of the Grand Knights of the House of York, and they asked to accompany Victor there, but Sylvia resolutely promoted the matter against public opinion. Trisley was well aware of Sylvia's wishes, so she couldn't understand what she was doing.
Sylvia blinked her eyes and said innocently: "Victor is not our vassal lord, and of course he has to solve the trouble himself." Don't...... Do you have a crush on Victor? Then you can only be a lover with him. ”
Trisley's face was slightly gloomy, she had a very strong relationship with Sylvia, and she was not at all afraid of the majesty of the Golden Knight.
The confidant looked unhappy, and Sylvia surrendered, "Okay! I'll tell you." ”
"What are the characteristics of the wind?"
Trisley looked at Sylvia's condensed blue brilliance suspiciously, and said tentatively, "Speed, sensitivity, perception, sharpness?"
Sylvia allowed the Void Wind Elemental in her hand to dissipate, and a miniature hurricane erupted, blowing the long hair of the two of them flying freely.
"We knights can manifest the Void Wind Elemental, but we can't control the wind! Victor doesn't have an elemental bit, but he can control the breeze and can manifest the Wind element. In other words, he must first condense the wind before he can manifest the wind element. Sylvia tucked her long hair behind her ears and said, "What you just said is the characteristics of the Void Wind element, not the characteristics of the wind. ”
"The characteristic of the wind is freedom!"
"Free ......," Trisley muttered thoughtfully.
"Yes!" Sylvia said confidently and eagerly, "Victor awakened the talent of wind in times of crisis, which is very similar to the life and death trials of knights, but don't forget, he has always pursued independence, which is exactly in line with the characteristics of the wind!"
"I suspect that the Sword Saint Draven mutated his bloodline in the pressure of battle and a life of freedom. And the other elven nobles have been raised, of course, they can't comprehend the true meaning of the wind!, therefore, I want to maintain the status of Victor's independent lord, let him enjoy freedom, and also face the challenges alone. ”
Sylvia was slightly excited, and Trisley couldn't help but ask, "What if he falls halfway?"
Sylvia smiled and said nothing, her eyes chasing the distant convoy, like water, like affection, as if ruthless.
