Chapter 032: (Deliberate Conspiracy)

After the feast, the noble lords, their wives and children, and their accompanying guards left the majestic castle that stood on the edge of the cliff.

At night, the wide roadway is sparsely populated and the lights on both sides of the deserted road are dim, except for a few patrolling soldiers passing by occasionally, except for the sound of the breeze blowing slowly.

Master Maggs saw his friends running quickly, but unfortunately they were too fat, and they were not much faster, and the two fleshy arms were thrown very hard, and their round bellies were bouncing up and down, but they were still running slowly.

The panting fat man shouted at the two familiar figures in front of him, "My friends, please wait for me." ”

He came, staggering from afar, moving his two stubby legs, and a big round belly. Griffin looked at the fat man walking towards them and couldn't help but chuckle softly, "What a waddling duck." ”

"I look more like a drunken stupid pig. Rutgers retorted in a low voice. He wore a black dress today, and his tall body looked more erect. The unkempt hair that used to be was combed neatly and cleanly, but there was a hint of coldness on that handsome face.

When the fat man on the opposite side got closer to them, the bearded Baron Griffin could clearly see the fat on the other party's face trembling and sweating profusely. "Looks like he's choked after walking so far. ”

"I'm afraid that if there is a war, the first unlucky one is this idiot. "The most ridiculous thing is that at that feast ten days ago, this stupid and fat boar was going to take on the Earl of Burns, who has the title of 'Red Bull Knight'. ”

On the continent of Calradia, the kingdom of Svadia, located in the vast plains, was mainly based on cavalry. Among them, the Svadia heavy knight is a symbol of victory and glory. In the entire kingdom of Svadia, there is a culture of worshipping knights.

In the previous tournaments held in the royal city [Paraven], the young Rutgers also had the dream of all the knights to win the honor in the tournament. He has faced the Earl of Belllands in the jousting arena on more than one occasion, but has never won against the Red Bull Knights.

Svadia Kingdom - This country famous for its knights on the continent of Calradia, there are many knights with superb swordsmanship and horsemanship, but there are still no knights who have been able to obtain the title of knight of the 'Blood Lion' King Haraus Hera I.

"At least Baron Magus's reckless behavior proves that he did not allow anyone to insult him to his face. "Perhaps you have forgotten that our friend was also a good knight in his youth. ”

"The glory of the past can't change the status quo," Rutgers smirked disdainfully, snorting, "Look at his belly, how many barrels of wine would have to fit to become like this? ”

Magus may seem reckless and stupid, but his father left him not only a large territory, but also an army that could be used to fight well. Baron Griffin said categorically, "Not to mention that Maggs is loyal to your lordship. ”

The Magus family's domain, Talbolia, is located on the northeastern border of the Kingdom of Svadia and borders the territory of the Kingdom of Nord to the north. Because of their location on the frontier, the Mags family has maintained a garrison of more than 5,000 men in their territory.

Demographically and financially, it is difficult for a lord of a frontier town to maintain an army of more than 3,000 men within the territory, and it will be sustained for a long time. Not to mention the fact that this is a corps of five thousand well-trained and well-equipped hoplites.

But Duke Kraggs, the ruler of the Suno region and the head of the Royal Knights, was able to do this with ease. At the same time, Duke Kragus is also the richest lord in the kingdom of Svadia and even in the entire continent of Calradia.

"Yes, I confess, he is loyal," replied Rutgers, with no change in his face, and in a more contemptuous tone, "what could this stupid pig have but this? ”

Although he kept his voice down, Griffin could still feel the jealousy in his mocking voice. "That's it, our friends will hear it. Griffin looked at the approaching fat man and said, "I don't want the two of you to fight. ”

"Don't worry, I'm not going to do anything with him. Rutgers assured him. He would rather have the enemy's spear pierce the fat pig's head on the battlefield than get his hands dirty.

"My friend, who don't you want to do it with?" the fat man smiled slightly, his eyes were gone, and the two pieces of flesh on his cheeks kept shaking up and down with the movement.

"You don't want to know the way. Rutgers replied with a serious face.

"No, I'd love to know!" insisted a drunken-looking Ralph Maggs.

You idiot, he said that person was you. Griffin lied, "A knight!"

"Tell me, Rutgers," said the fat man, drunkenly, "maybe I can teach this fellow a lesson for you." ”

"'Red Bull Knight' Count Akron Brandz. Rutgers replied coldly. Looking at the other party's face full of fat, this made him feel a sense of disgust from the bottom of his heart.

The fat man was stunned for a moment, and roared angrily: "Don't mention this bastard to me, sooner or later I will ask him to pay the price of insulting me, just like your uncle, the old bastard who is about to die." ”

"Shut your foul mouth," Griffin reminded in a scathing whisper, "and beware of the soldier's head sticking to the spear if some ill-intentioned people listen." To make sure the words weren't heard, his piercing eyes quickly scanned the dim surroundings.

"My friend, are you scared?" the fat man grinned.

Rutgers gave him a cold look. "You ought to say these things to them, not to shout at us here," his voice grew a chilling tone. "As long as you don't mind losing your head. ”

The drunken fat man didn't seem to hear the other party's warning clearly, and he continued in a firm tone, "I swear, they will pay the price." ”

Helpless, Griffin could only whisper to the side, "Yes, I believe you can do it." Then he changed his words, "Now let's forget about these unpleasantness and go back to that comfortable room in the hotel!"

"Gentlemen, it's rare to be able to come to the royal capital, shouldn't we find a place to be happy?"

"Go yourself, we've got business to talk about. Rutgers' expression was a little more disdainful. This guy is nothing but drinking and women, and he wants this idiot to disappear in front of him immediately.

"Tell me about it. The fat man was suddenly interested.

"Not now, come and ask me when you're sober!" Griffin interjected, "Now are you going back to the hotel with us, or are you going to be merry yourself?"

"You guys go back to the hotel first, I'll have to find a brothel to spend the night." The fat man replied with a smile. Then he swayed with his big belly towards another remote alley and left alone, and gradually disappeared into the darkness.

When the other party completely disappeared in front of him, Rutgers turned around and said angrily, "When did this idiot ever wake up?"

"Leave him alone," Griffin reassured, "and let him do whatever he wants, as long as the boar can come in handy at the critical moment." ”

"What can such an idiot do?"

"Your Excellency doesn't expect him to be able to kill valiantly on the battlefield," Griffin corrected, "What your Excellency needs is the soldiers in Barony Magus's realm to be at his disposal." ”

Back at the inn, Baron Griffin invited Rutgers to his room to discuss something important. and specially ordered two guards to guard the door to prevent their conversation in the room from being overheard.

Griffin brought a bottle of Viruga wine and two delicate high-angle glasses, unscrewed the lid and sniffed the wine, then nodded in satisfaction. Then he poured his wine and said, "In the morning, my men brought news from Harlan Gosburg. ”

"What's the news?" Rutgers blurted out as he sat on the plush sofa.

"Don't worry, have a drink and listen to me," Griffin said, sipping on his wine. "Just a few days ago, Master Harongoth made a marriage contract for his little girl in his castle. ”

"Marriage?" asked Rutgers, again, "which aristocratic girl?" ”

"The girl from the Red family. ”

"A girl from the Baron's family?" Rutgers didn't even care about the girl's name, he only cared about why his uncle did it.

"Baron Paroku Red, the head of the Knights of Sanctions, and the lord of the southern province of Al Bell's harbor town," Griffin said with a deliberate emphasis, "and it is the only harbor city in the entire Swadia kingdom except for Paraven. ”

"Yes, I understand," Rutgers realized, "the old fellow did this to make the Red family even more loyal to him, so that even after he died, my cousin would be able to continue to rule the Southern Province with the help of Baron Red." ”

"You're right," Griffin's eyes showed a hint of appreciation, "as long as she has the support of both the Knights of Sanction and the Red family, that little girl can rule the Southern Province even if she spends her days chanting poetry and painting." ”

"But what does all this have to do with me?"

"That's the point," Griffin Prais told him in a low voice, "it doesn't matter when Lord Harongoth dies, it's important that you become his rightful heir after he dies. ”

"When will the old guy die. Rutgers hid his excitement.

"It's going to be great, he won't last long. Baron Griffin whispered back to him.

"Then we have to act quickly. Rutgers's face changed suddenly, and he said with some concern, "But if he stays in the castle all the time, we won't have a chance at all." ”

"The little girl is not in his father's castle, he has followed your bastard brother to Nimeca. ”

"Then get rid of the two of them together. His handsome face darkened.

"I'll arrange this matter, and you can wait for news with peace of mind. ”

"Griffin, my friend," said Rutgers solemnly, "I swear I will never forget what you have done for me. ”
