Just in the midst of the storm in this eastern kingdom.

General Howell, who had been silent to the outside world, suddenly did something resolutely.

This matter is not widely spread even in the upper echelons of the kingdom, but its actual influence may be enough to determine the fate of the eastern kingdom for the next few decades.

He sent a secret letter to each of the four heirs.

The content of the secret letter is to invite all the heirs of the royal family who are now self-respecting to come to the Welsh castle.

He will rule on the king's authority in an ancient and gentle way.

This will prevent the kingdom from falling into weakness due to civil war, and give opportunities to the southern kingdoms or the Afaria civilization that is about to move in the north.

This method is said to have been appointed by the old king.

When the old king was renovating the Welsh castle, he considered what would happen if he died suddenly and would not have time to appoint an heir. So he hid a Mithril sword in a secret location three miles near the Welsh castle.

He told Howell that not only the four heirs, but also those with royal blood who found the Mithril Sword and became the owner of the Mithril Sword could become the new king.

Howell intended to follow the old king's old idea and use this ancient method to choose a new king among the heirs.

Therefore, the people who received the secret letter were far more than the four royal heirs!

According to Evelyn's estimates, there are at least 400 people living in this castle, most of whom are related to the royal family, and some are even the illegitimate children of the declining duke......

I don't know where Howell got these people from.

It can only be said that the military power controlled by this great general is really amazing.

In fact, Howell's invitation was very unfair and very dangerous for the four heirs.

Leaving his territory and coming to Welsh Castle, God knows if it was a plot by Howell.

Once he and an heir other than himself have completed the plot.

So wouldn't the others have become mermaids?

But the problem is that Howell's opinion itself is the key to whether he can become the next king.

Before, he had been silent, and seemed to be wallowing over the death of the old king.

And now, he has decided to step up and take charge of the big picture.

Coming, danger.

If you don't come, you will directly give up Howell's support.

This is an unacceptable price for any heir.

In fact, the strength of the heirs of the Quartet, in addition to the eldest prince, has a bit of real power, and it is simply not worth mentioning in front of the army in charge of Howell.

There has been talk of it in the kingdom for a long time.

As long as General Howell wants to, he can be emperor at any time!

He is trained in the army, and after many years of operation, the military department is all his people!

Every year's military training is personally managed by him.

Every soldier is idolized by General Howell.

All he had to do was raise his arms and shout.

The other four heirs are nothing more than showmanship.

So, before that, everyone, including Evelyn, was trying to talk to Howell.

But the information they received was very limited.

Until the arrival of this ancient and wonderful invitation.

Because the so-called "Finding the Mithril Sword" is all Howell's words, no one knows whether this is the old king's arrangement.

But it doesn't matter anymore.

For the throne.

All the ambitious guys came to this castle.

Of the four heirs, only the eldest prince explicitly refused.

However, he did not dare to offend Howell directly, but said that he was sick at home and sent a cousin over as a representative.

Xu Nan pondered that this cousin must not have a good relationship with the eldest prince......

Of course, these are all off-topic.

The current situation is.

Welsh castles, all under the control of General Howell.

The three royal heirs and representatives of the Great Prince.

More than 400 people with royal blood.

It's all in this castle!

"More than two thousand soldiers on duty......"

"Howell, this guy, is really calling for wind and rain in the Eastern Kingdom."

"Even if he becomes a king with his support, to be honest, he is just a puppet, right?"

Looking out of the window of the room on the second floor, Xu Nan could see a large number of soldiers with serious expressions.

They were scrupulously carrying out Howell's orders.

A member of the royal family, clamoring to see General Howell, was forcibly carried back to his room.

Throughout the process, the soldiers moved in unison, were well-trained, and did not even frown.

It can be seen that Howell's ability to govern the army is excellent.

"No, it's not."

Faced with Xu Nan's complaints, Evelyn rarely retorted:

"Uncle Howell, though he has absolute influence within the king, most of the soldiers listen to him."

"But he never meddled in his internal affairs...... Well, as far as I know, at least on the surface. ”

Xu Nan touched his nose.

Not meddling in internal affairs does not mean anything.

When the old king was there, it was normal for Howell to behave.

He was actually quite curious about what Howell's sudden operation meant, after all, the drama of finding the Mithril Sword and becoming its owner was too nonsense; But what he cared more about was where the demon lord was now!

"There are two thousand to three thousand people in the entire castle, and it is too difficult to find an evil spirit lord who can possess many people."

Luo Song couldn't help but complain.

He glared at Susie, "Can you be more precise?" ”

Susie directly rolled her eyes and scratched her paws in response:

"I can't sense his presence directly."

"I can only look for it by the breath, this guy is very cunning, he spreads his breath all over every corner of the castle, even every guard, he has his smell!"

"I suspect he deliberately left his breath like this, and then he ran away early......"

Xu Nan frowned.

If that's the case, then things are a bit of a hassle.

I was originally going to Ice Saw Valley, but who knew that I bumped into Ah Kun halfway through.

Okay, temporarily rerouted to help Senior Ah Kun catch the evil spirit lord, who knew that he would be able to bump into Evelyn halfway.

Is this what it means to open more and more side quests?

"That's not right."

Ah Kun shook his head and said firmly:

"Lynch's goal is recovery."

"And the fastest way to recover is to eat the life of the living."

"Where is the most populated in the entire Bucks Mountains right now?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was immediately awakened!

Where are the most populous?

Naturally, it was a Welsh castle that was summoned by General Howell.

"It's worthy of Senior Ah Kun!"

Xu Nan was ashamed and said: "I didn't take this layer into account. ”

"In this case, the evil spirit lord should have sensed the crowd here, and he wanted to take the opportunity to recover his strength!"

"We must find that demon!"

Ah Kun pointed to the soldiers outside the window and said:

"But they're certainly not going to believe us."

"I can't really hurt them."

"Or Senior Brother Xu Nan...... Well? ”

His "um" is very spiritual.

Of course, Xu Nan realized what the senior meant.

At this time, if you can't hurt the soldiers and control their behavior, naturally only the charismatic self will appear!

He thought about it, even if these soldiers were trained, there should be a high probability that they would become their own licking dogs.

As long as you control some of it, you can hide it from others.

The key is to leave this room and have a chance to hunt down Lynch!

He Shi Shiran walked with cat steps, ready to push the door and go out, using the country and the city again.

It's just that at this time, Evelyn suddenly said:

"I'll do it."

"Uncle Howell and I have a good relationship, I'll try to see if I can show you to meet him."

Xu Nan and Ah Kun glanced at each other, thought for a moment, and nodded gently.

It's better not to use something like a charm spell if you don't need it.

It's not that it hurts the soldiers.

It's that Xu Nan is afraid that he will become addicted.

After all, it's so refreshing to be licked by everyone......

He is afraid that one day, he will be the only one left in the world, and the licking dogs all over the world.

It's cool, but after a long time, it's going to be boring.

"Then let's try it first."

Xu Nan motioned for Evelyn to communicate with the guards at the door.

Evelyn knocked on the door, then opened the side door, and made her own request to see General Howell.

The soldier quickly looked around, and after making sure that there were no other troublesome royal heirs in the corridor, he whispered:

"Your Excellency General has instructed that if His Highness Evelyn wants to see him, he will allow it."

Evelyn looked happy.

It's just that in the next second, the soldier looked at the three men with different styles behind her with some vigilance:

"But the general also said that you can bring up to two retinues."

Evelyn was in a quandary.

Xu Nan thought for a while: "No problem." ”

"I just want to wronged Mr. Luo Song and Liuyi."

Susie's eyes widened suddenly:

"What are you thinking?"

"Don't you think !!"

"Ahh

"Isn't that wronging me? Woowoo woo ......"

In the chalk cat's feeble resistance, Xu Nan motioned for Evelyn to close the door.

In the next second, he put Luo Song and Liu Yi into the original treasure chest.

Plus Susie.

So, in the blink of an eye, there were only three people left in the room: him, Ah Kun and Evelyn.

When Evelyn opened the door again, the soldier's eyes were filled with surprise.

Still, he left the room with the three of them.

"Let's go faster, so that other royal heirs can see it, it will cause unnecessary misunderstandings."

The soldier whispered.

The movements of the three were fast.

The guards in the castle can be said to be very strict.

This is said to be the place where the Eastern Kingdom trains professionals, so each guard is of a high rank.

Xu Nan felt that he and Ah Kun were enough to push this place before, and he was suddenly slapped in the face.

He pondered that he would have to add at least two more Jiang Yuanchi......

Along the way, they passed about six levels before reaching the depths of the Welsh Castle.

"The Shogun is inside."

"You can see him now."

The guard had done his job and went back.

Someone pushed the door open for them.

Bright sunlight shone through the study.

This is supposed to be the highest point in Welsh Castle.

Facing everyone is a study layout, next to which there should be a matching master bedroom and bathroom.

If the person who lives here is a castle lord, then this should be the castle lord's room.

Now, the owner of this room is clearly Howell, who is on the one side of the power.

He was a middle-aged man with a somewhat young face.

When the three walked in, Howell was holding a box in his arms.

Smack.

He closed the box and immediately smiled brightly:

"Evelyn."

"You're getting more and more beautiful."

"Thank you, Uncle Howell."

Evelyn smiled lightly and performed impeccable court etiquette.

As for Xu Nan and Ah Kun, they could only nod their heads.

Although they are nominally Evelyn's entourage, they are not a good unit at all!

Neither of them felt much about Howell.

Ah Kun is a legendary warrior monk, and Xu Nan himself is a city lord!

It's just a big general, and at most, it will affect the pattern of the Eastern Kingdom!

Xu Nan pondered how he was also a macho man who had talked and laughed with the gods, and saluted the general of a secular kingdom - yes, but there was no need!

"These two are professionals in your realm?"

Howell raised an eyebrow.

"I'm from the Ten Commandments Monastery, a warrior monk, a demon slayer."

"I'm here to bring Master Liuye's admonition."

"In this castle, there is a monster from the evil spirit world."

"I'm arresting him, and I hope you can help me with something."

Ah Kun spoke directly, his tone serious.

Xu Nan was stunned, and said in his heart, Senior Ah Kun, who learned too quickly to follow the customs, this tone is a proper local demon slayer in the general world......

"The Monastery of the Ten Commandments? Master of Flowing Leaves? ”

Howell's expression changed slightly, he seemed to have heard of the name.

"Evil spirits?"

He turned to look at Xu Nan:

"And what about Your Excellency? Is Your Excellency also a warrior monk of the Monastery of the Ten Commandments? ”

Xu Nan thought for a while:

"There shouldn't be a warrior monk as handsome as me, right?"

Howell's expression was slightly stunned.

"Okay, seriously."

Xu Nan said seriously:

"I'm from Stephen Sand, and I'm an archmage, and they all call me Mage Lynch."

"Mage Lynch?"

Howell's complexion changed suddenly, but in the next second, he saw a sly smile on the corner of Xu Nan's mouth.

"Sure enough."

"You know Lynch, you know that Evil Spirit Lord."

Xu Nan smiled coldly:

"Mr. Howell, should I call you Howell, or should I just call you Lynch?"

Evelyn had a look of disbelief on her face, but she didn't understand Xu Nan's operation!

He pretended to talk about something, and then deliberately called himself Lynch, which was testing Howell!

In Xu Nan's opinion, Lynch blended into the castle and might go directly to Howell, the highest power level!

So he had to be on guard.

And now, he feels like he's succeeded.

"Senior Ah Kun ......"

Before Xu Nan's words were finished, Ah Kun made a lightning shot and snatched the box directly from Howell!

Open it and take a look.

A bloody human head rolled out of it.

Looking at the human head, Evelyn's eyes widened suddenly, and she almost screamed!
