"Eldeid, I don't understand, shouldn't the child born to Queen Saiya be the crown prince of Erathia?, why don't you swear allegiance to him?"

"Of course he should be the crown prince of Erathia!" said Eldred, "but he has just been born, and he can't become the king of Erathia yet!" After the death of Queen Saiya, Erathia needs a regent to hand over power when His Royal Highness the little prince comes of age. As the legal guardian of Her Royal Highness the Little Prince, Her Majesty the Queen Mother obviously wants to use this regent to regain the pinnacle of power......"

"That's not a good idea!" McLind seemed to understand, "As far as I know, she used to be a very bad queen, secretly killing many rivals in love and politics......! Some even say she's Hera of Erathia!"

"Yes, if the power falls back into the hands of Kendall and the Queen Mother, all the fruits of our hard work will be in vain......

"Princess Catherine is the most suitable person for regent, because she is the only one who can unite all the people of Erathia!" Mellind sighed, "but it seems that her resistance will be very great, because Her Majesty the Queen Mother seems to have good reasons!"

"They won't let Princess Catherine regent!" said Eldred, worried, "they will do everything they can to stop it!"

"Looks like Erathia is going to be in chaos again!" Mellind sighed, "This is not a good thing, as soon as Erathia is in chaos, the undead and the demon clan will take the opportunity to make a comeback!"

McLind's concern is justified. Now that the Witch Clan is involved in the war, she certainly has to think about the future of Tytaria.

"I must report this to Princess Catherine at once!" Eldred stood up and said, "Remind her to be prepared, always be on guard against open knives and hidden arrows!"

"Can you still get out?" said McLind worriedly, "I'm afraid you've been put under house arrest by the Queen Mother!"

"They won't do anything to me!" Edred shook his head, "Their target is not me, but Princess Catherine!"

Sure enough, the soldiers in charge of the guards did not stop them, but allowed them to come and go freely.

"Cuthbert isn't in the city, I don't know who else can be trusted now!" Eldred whispered to Melind, "If I'm right, Her Majesty the Queen Mother is now looking for allies everywhere!" She stood for a moment, and then suddenly said, "Let's go to the Giant's Blacksmith, they are on our side all the time!"

But when they arrived at the former giant blacksmith on King's Road, the anvil sign was gone, and it had become a grocery store.

"You'll have to find him at the magic academy on the hillside!" said the owner of the grocery store, "The Chosen One once allocated them a large piece of land where they smelted steel and made cannons!"

"Thank you! I forgot if you didn't say it!" said Eleded, slapping his forehead.

Mellind looked at Eldred sympathetically. She was one of the smartest girls she had ever seen, and she seemed to be dizzy now.

However, they had only walked more than ten steps before they were stopped by a man dressed in black. The man bowed and said, "Honorable Queen McLind, honorable Commander Eldrid, someone wants to talk to you, please come with me!"

"Do I know the man you're talking about?" said Adridrid warily.

"You don't know!" the man shook his head, "but you and Princess Catherine deal with us occasionally......"

"The Thieves' Guild?"

"Yes...... You can also call us the League of Assassins!, but rest assured, we have no ill will!" The man laughed eerily, "Who would dare to offend the mighty Witch King and the First Priest of Erathia? You two are enough to start a war without any soldiers!"

The man took McLind and Eldred around the streets, and there was always someone behind them to cover for them. There were pedestrians, there were vendors, there were soldiers, and there were homeless people.

"We'll need to get rid of the people who are following you!" the man explained, "I think they're supposed to be sent by Commander Kendall!"

"I know!" Aldred nodded, "He has many eyes and ears, and he can meet them wherever he goes." ”

That's true. As soon as they walked out of the gate of the station, the two of them discovered the stalker behind them. They also got rid of a few, but they found that there were still people sneaking behind them, so they simply didn't bother to avoid them.

"But your tricks are not much different from his!" added Eldred.

The man sneered, "What's the solution, we have to do this in order to survive!"

"That's right, because you're doing shady things!"

The man who led the way did not squeak. As long as people with a little common sense know, don't argue with women, especially women with sharp teeth, otherwise you are asking for trouble. What's more, the thieves' union is originally engaged in some shady things, such as intelligence inquiry, theft, robbery, kidnapping, and even assassination!

This is a force to be reckoned with, as they have a large number of mercenaries and assassins at their disposal. Successive rulers hated these people, but they were occasionally able to do something unseemly for themselves, so they had to turn a blind eye.

In this world, there will always be many things that are not visible. As long as there is such a need, they will grow like moss in the dark.

They turned into an alley, and the garbage and sewage were almost impossible to get to. There are also buzzing flies, swaggering rats swaggering through the alleys.

This is the slum in the middle of the city, or flea nest. As long as there is injustice in the world, such a place will exist.

"We're here!" the man pushed open a door, much to Eldred's and McLind's relief.

"I'm sorry to let you come to this place!" The room was dimly lit, and a figure could be faintly seen.

"Looks like you can't see the light of day!" Aldred snorted.

"That's why I asked you to be here...... You may be seated, my most distinguished guest!"

The candle was lit. As the light filled the room, Eldred and McLind's eyes widened in surprise! What kind of flea nest was this, and its decoration was no less luxurious than that of a royal palace!

In front of them was a long table carved out of a single piece of jade, incomparably beautiful!

The man began to explain the origin of the fruit one by one. The fruit of Erathia is not only from Crurod, but also from Baildes, from Aveli, from Bracada, and from Titalia...... Eldred and McLind even discovered an avocado exclusive to the Lost Lands!

"You are very powerful!" sighed Eldred, "there is not even so many varieties in the palace! As far as I know, there is only one person in the world who can have such power...... Tell us your true purpose!"

"Have you seen who I am, Commander Elderid?"

"If I'm right, you should be called Huo Shan, the leader of the Thieves' Guild or the League of Assassins!"

"You're very smart!" Huo Shan nodded: "It seems that the origin of these fruits has revealed my identity!"

Eldred sat down, cut the avocado into small pieces with a knife, smeared it with salt and honey, and tasted it carefully: "I thought I would never taste fruit from the Lost Lands again in my life...... It reminds me of the hard days of practicing in the Lost Lands......"

"You're wrong! Avocados aren't endemic to the Lost Lands...... There are many other places in the world where avocados are abundant!"

"It seems that you are very knowledgeable!" McLind also savored, "Your sphere of influence is far beyond what we know about the known world......

"It can be said that anywhere in the world there is a tavern, there will be our footprints!" said the Dark Shadow Man, smugly.

"Show your true colors!" Eldred wiped his lips with a snow-white handkerchief, "That makes me feel your sincerity!"

The Shadow Man hesitated for a moment, and finally lifted the veil that surrounded him.

"You!" Eldred and McLind jumped up at once.

"It looks like I'm scaring you!" Huo Shan sighed, "I can understand your overreaction at this time...... Yes, I'm Kendall's illegitimate son, and he's the only son alive in this world!"

"You...... What do you want to do?" Eldred's hand was already on the magic wand at his waist.

"Although I have his blood in my body, he still refuses to admit my identity!" Huo Shan shook his head helplessly: "For him, I am a person who does not exist!"

"Before Queen Saiya ascended the throne, it seems that you carried out an assassination campaign against her...... Maybe it was your action that completely angered him!"

"That's my reckless brother!" Huo Shan sighed: "His reckless behavior not only killed himself, but also my mother......"

"Tell me, what are you talking about when you called us?"

"I'm not going to let that slut regent!" her hands are stained with the blood of my relatives!"

The "slut" in this person's mouth seems to refer to the Queen Mother.

"I will pull her down from the pinnacle of power, and let her also feel what a complete failure is!" Huo Shan said hatefully: "She will betray her relatives and leave her family, and she is panicked like a lost dog!"

"You want to ally with us for that?" asked Eldred.

"Yes, only if we join forces can we thwart that slut's scheme!"

"What do you want, so that the world will recognize you as the son of Kendall, the rightful heir of the House of Ainfast?" asked Eldred.

"This is simply a luxury for me!" Huo Shan shook his head: "My request is very simple, since I can't be a member of the Ironfast family, then let me inherit the mantle of my mother's family and return everything that my slut took away with despicable tricks!"

"As far as I know, your brother's treason is an ironclad case, and it is impossible to overturn Zhaoxue...... Your mother's title has been stripped and all fiefs and possessions have been confiscated...... You must rely on your own outstanding deeds to have a chance of regaining your title!"

"Is there any merit that can be more remarkable than making that slut fail?" Huo Shan said: "Everyone's goal is the same, I can't find any reason for us not to align!"

Adridrid was silent for a long time before he said, "Okay...... If you can support Her Royal Highness Princess Catherine in the successful regency, we will give you what you want!"

The two didn't stay in the dark room for long. When they walked down the street again and soaked up the sun, they breathed a long sigh of relief.

"This man is powerful and terrifying!" McLind said what she thought of Huo Shan.

"The former leader of the Thieves' Guild is an old man, and it is said that no one can defeat him......" Eldred nodded, "It seems that this person finally defeated him and thus earned the name Huoshan!"

"That's their tradition...... Only the strongest person in the organization can become Huo Shan!" Mellind said, "I can feel that his goal is much more than that!"

"Fortunately, he is not an enemy for the time being!" said Eledred worriedly, "but sooner or later we will meet him in arms, and in the face of national interests, there are no permanent friends and no permanent enemies......

"But I will always stand by your side......"

"Of course you're an exception!" Eldred smiled, "We'll never forget that you helped Erathia when she needed it most! What could be more precious than a friendship that fought side by side?"

"The reason why I help you is to let the world know that the witch clan is not evil!" said McLinder, "We advocate peace and justice, and if someone tries to destroy peace and justice, the witch clan will not stay out of it, but bravely choose to fight!" [.]
