CHAPTER XXII

The caravan was on the road again, Tiger who had been smiling suddenly showed a solemn look, he made a wary look at the other guards, and the other five guards quickly drew their weapons and concentrated in front of the wagon! Colin also took out his frost sword with excitement on his face and stood at the back of the wagon. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

The sound of horses' hooves reminded me of an oncoming group of knights in armor galloping past the side of the road, and this group of knights was ten people, which was the formation of a group of cavalry.

When the cavalry passed by, it passed directly through Tiger's convoy, but Tiger saw the insignia of the cavalry clearly, and he couldn't help but say strangely: "These people are our cavalry, why do they appear here?" A guard next to him also said: "Yes, and it's the earl's personal guard, I know several of them!"

While everyone was curious, another group of cavalry rushed over, and this group of cavalry had the same badge as Tiger and the others! One of the cavalrymen saw Tiger, and while holding the reins, he shouted, "Is it Tiger? I'm Hans!"

Tiger trotted to meet the man, shouting as he ran: "I'm Tiger, Hans is you, why are you in a hurry, is there something going on at home?"

Hans jumped off his horse and said to Tiger: "Something is wrong, our Earl is entertaining guests at home, but the guest's things were lost when passing by the Earl's territory, and several of the guests' attendants died, the lord was furious at the castle, I have to hurry up, this morning the lord has begun to let go of the killing, I advise you not to go back to Berto Castle recently, I also heard that the guest is a relative of the lady!"

Tiger was startled when he heard this, but Colin on the side wondered if it had something to do with William. After Hans finished speaking, he immediately went to chase the horses, and Tiger, who had always been cheerful, had a gloomy and frightening face, and the faces of the other guards were also extremely ugly. Colin asked one of the people who was driving the car: "Uncle, is that Lord Earl terrible?" The man whispered: "Lord Earl is usually not bad, and he is very kind to people, but if he loses his temper, he doesn't know how many people will die!" A person next to him said cautiously: "I remember that last time the Earl lost his temper and directly cut down more than 40 people, dyeing the moat of the castle red, but it was terrifying!" Another person next to him interjected: "I heard that there are more than 40 people, it is said that the Lord personally cut down 40 people, and ordered hundreds of people to be executed!" ”

Colin pursed his lips after hearing this, he thought to himself, there are only a few hundred people in the entire Star Luo Town, this earl killed so many people in a fit of anger, it was too fierce and cruel, could this be the trouble caused by the teacher?

Tiger and several of the guards also discussed, and in the end, Tiger reluctantly decided to bypass Berto Castle and go all the way to Twilight. Tiger smiled wryly at Colin and said, "I wanted you to admire Berto's Castle, wait for the next chance!" Colin shrugged indifferently, in fact, he didn't have any affection for the earl who killed people casually.

While they were talking, in the reception hall of the castle of Berto, the legendary terrible Lord Count Berto was sitting silently on the top seat, and at the bottom of him sat a young man, and at the bottom of the steps stood a very beautiful middle-aged woman, this woman was dressed in a magnificent dress, her beautiful appearance showed an extremely distorted expression, and her voice was even more shrill and difficult to hear, this noble lady seemed to be angry, and the object of anger was the Marquis Berto, who was talked about by everyone。

"Your army is a bunch of rubbish, and your guards are a bunch of idiots, oh no, I think I just insulted the words rubb and idiots, because your men are a bunch of stupid idiots who are stupider than pigs, a bunch of stinky shit!"

Count Berto's face was extremely ugly, but he showed no sign of reciprocating. And the woman still insulted the marquis frantically: "I see why! because their master is a fool, and the stupidest in all of Bavaria!"

The Count stood up abruptly and walked up to the woman with great speed, and even the young man thought that the Count was about to be furious, and when he slapped the lady down, the Count hugged the woman and said in a very gentle tone: "Don't be angry, Alice, my little darling, the way you are angry frightens me, hehe!"

If an outsider sees the Marquis's behavior now, he will definitely think that he is crazy, but if he is familiar with the Marquis's family affairs, he is accustomed to it, because this woman is the Count's only love, the Count's lifeblood, the Count's wife who has been married for twenty years, and the only weakness of the terrible Count Berto!

When the Count comforted the lady, the handsome young man sitting beside him stood up, his movements were very graceful, and he said with a smile: "Dear aunt and uncle, I have always heard that you are in a particularly good relationship, and today I saw that it was so!, but I think I should go, it is indeed too unsafe here in Bavaria, I thought this visit was an interesting task, but I did not expect that this time I would lose a lot!" After the young man finished speaking, he raised his hands and looked innocently at the marquis couple who were hugging each other.

The countess first pushed away the count's embrace, and then said to the young man in a loving tone: "Ram, my poor nephew, I didn't expect so many variables, but you are doing very well, aren't you going to sign an agreement with the Marquis de Ludwig right away?"

The Count put his arms around the Lady again and said, "Yes, I think so too, and how can you give an account to your Majesty if you go back now!" The young man standing in the hall of the Earlcastle was the envoy of the Kingdom of Ralman, the one who had spoken to the Marquis of Ludwig in the palace last time.

After listening to the words of the counts, he first made an elegant thank-you salute, and then said with a smile: "Dear aunt and uncle, I don't care about the so-called friendship agreement now, this is a matter of no technical content, Duke Ludwig made a statement before I reported to the king, this is simply a show." I'm worried about next month, but I heard yesterday that this time the Grand Duke really wants to invite the cardinal of the Church of Light to attend the coronation, and I'm afraid that our majesty will go crazy!"

Collins IV of the Kingdom of Ralman was extremely hostile to the Church, not only resolutely refusing to cooperate with the Church over the years, but also expelling the Church personnel from the country many times, although the Rhine Cathedral still stands in Berlin, but the Church has become more and more difficult in Ralman over the years. The Duchy of Bavaria had always been seen as the backyard of the Relmann kingdom, and the Richman did not want the church to be involved.

The earl also looked puzzled and said, "I don't understand why the Grand Duke wants to get involved with the church. If the Grand Duke really wants to be good friends with the Holy See, why did he sign this important agreement with you?"

The Countess sneered, "I don't understand this, you're really stupid!" the Count grinned, not caring at all. The Countess continued: "It's not that we want to use the church to put pressure on us Relman, we Ralman have not been at peace lately, and that stupid Count Ens like you has taken the initiative to go to war against the Marquis of Lyman! His Majesty almost got angry about this, isn't this the reason why Ram came this time? Otherwise, my father himself led the troops to fight!"

The Earl still grinned and replied, "But how do I feel that our Grand Duke wants to play seriously this time, he has been too close to that Bishop Tassen lately, what if he really wants to join the Church?"

The countess looked disdainful: "You are just too naïve, do you dare Maxim? Do you know what it means if he really dares to accept the coronation? War! War with the kingdom of Relman! What benefits can the church give him, even if it gives him enough benefits, can it give him real support? Send a few heavenly positions, even if it is a few holy positions, but how useful these people are in the face of our Relman cavalry legion? The church can't get the three major legions to Bavaria!"

The Earl smiled: "Yes, not to mention the Royal Cavalry Regiment of Relman, even the cavalry regiment of my father-in-law, who can stop it!" After saying that, he laughed with Ram.

The Countess didn't smile this time, she said with a little uneasiness: "But if you want me to say, you should accompany me to my father's side, and it will be safer!"

The Count put away his smile and shook his head and replied: "Then what's the matter, I'm the Count of Bavaria after all, how can I leave the territory at this time!" The Countess said angrily: "Why, you dare not listen to my words!" The Count laughed: "How dare I not listen, let me think about it again!"

The Countess was silent and began to cry out again: "Don't divert the topic, what if my nephew's thing is missing, you have to help him find it!"

The earl reluctantly coaxed the lady a few more words, and said to Ram: "Dear Ram, you tell me what happened first, and we will have a clue together!"

Ram sighed and said, "I came out of the Grand Duke's Mansion at noon yesterday, and when I was bored, I played around Dusk City, and then went back to sleep. I went out early this morning and came here, but I didn't expect that to happen as soon as I entered your territory!"

The Earl said helplessly: "You haven't encountered anything special before?" Ram thought for a while, and suddenly said: "That little girl! It must have been her hand!" The Marquis continued to ask: "What little girl, where did you meet her?" Ram recalled: "A particularly beautiful little girl, I saw it at the auction, I grabbed something with her, she didn't rob me, she glared at me when she left, I sent someone out to find her but lost it!"

Ram patted his head and said: "It must be her, she can't be wrong, she looks very beautiful, I inquired yesterday, and no one said that she knew her!" The countess snorted and said, "It can't be that you have a different heart when you see it and provoke people!" Ram shouted: "How is it possible, it's still a child!"

The Count called the guards, frowned and ordered, and the Countess said unhappily: "Let your people serve me snacks, don't let my brother laugh at you and me about this again!"
