Chapter 0341 - Precursor (Four Watches for a Monthly Pass)
Autumn.
Everything is golden, and a team of horses slowly moves across the golden plain.
"The royal domain was originally the richest, but after a series of wars, it has been completely deserted......"
The Messiah looked at the abandoned farmland by the roadside, and his heart was a little blocked.
At this time, she already knew that the only way to measure the potential of a fief was population, food and steel.
At this time, the royal realm had become like this, which really hit her deeply.
"The royal family has also had a hard time in the past few years...... First of all, he had to face the rebellion of the royal capital, and after a little stability, the rule of the puppet king was overthrown again. ”
Suru shook his head and came to his lordship.
"Huh?"
To his surprise, it was not bad, except for some buildings that had been clearly rebuilt, and there was still a little people.
Inside the Lord's Villa.
"Teacher ......"
When Ham saw the convoy, he rode over to inspect it, and when he saw Sulu, he immediately dismounted and saluted with joy: "You're finally back!" ”
"Didn't I let you each transfer?"
Sulu pressed his forehead.
"This is your hereditary domain after all...... "Hamne scratched his head, "What's more...... Except for the fact that the Duke of the North was wanted very fiercely before, so I had to go out and hide for a while, everything else is ......."
He excitedly said to Sulu, "Mentor, there are two other people you didn't expect, who are also in the villa. ”
"Oh?"
Su Lu smiled and came to the carriage behind him: "Your Majesty, how about resting in my territory for the time being tonight?" ”
"Good!"
The Messiah lifted the curtain and looked at the free collar, which was depressed but much better than in other places, and his eyes were a little confused for a moment.
She had been to this territory before, and at this time, compared with what she remembered, she suddenly felt that she still retained a little vitality, and she couldn't help but be very pleased.
When they arrived at the villa, they were greeted by two young men, one thin and the other tall, none other being Raffer and Jon.
"Mentor!"
They had guilt on their faces, as if they were apologizing for not saying goodbye before, and it was hard to guess that they had become undercover agents.
"You two?"
Su Lu glanced blankly: "Forget it...... It's good to come back, this territory will be inherited by Ham after all, which of you has an opinion? ”
"No, the mentor's decision is the right one!"
Jon and Raffer looked at each other and quickly shook their heads.
"Very well, prepare bread and water, our convoy is going to rest here for the night."
As a local lord, Sulu calls the shots as a matter of course.
"Yes, Mentor!"
The two quickly agreed and retreated.
……
Time into the night.
"Really...... It's boring......"
Sulu yawned and walked out of Laffer's psychic realm.
There is no doubt that this guy has been drawn to the side of the Grand Duke of Blackcastle, and even in his heart, Sulu sees a strong resentment.
Because you don't have a territory to him, you have resentment?
This discovery immediately made Sulu feel very funny.
But there are all kinds of people in the world, and he doesn't bother to care about it at all.
On the contrary, the presence of these two known 'undercover agents' saved him a lot of trouble.
After thinking about it, he cleared the traces of his previous visit, hypnotized Raff and Jon to forget about it, and finally planted a curse in their hearts before turning away.
"I ......"
In the dark, drops of cold sweat broke out on Lafa's forehead, and he kept struggling.
In his dream, he seemed to see a strange human form.
The other party was wearing a silver-white mask, and was calmly descending the stairs with a strong sense of danger.
I wanted to run, but I couldn't escape.
Suddenly, he suddenly woke up and glanced around: "It turned out to be a dream!" ”
Laver gasped violently, got out of bed lightly, and walked out of the room.
Like a thief, he familiarly slipped out of the villa, ran into the woods in the distance, and threw out something: "Go...... Bring the information to the Duke! ”
A green squirrel emerged from a tree branch, holding the paper ball that Laffer had thrown, and quickly disappeared.
On the way back, Laffer suddenly had a mental move: "Who? ”
"It's me!"
Jon stepped out from the other side, not the slightest embarrassment on his face.
"It turned out to be your ......"
Laffer opened his mouth, intending to ask about the nightmare, but held back.
He felt that it would be a shame to let Jon know that he was under so much psychological pressure that he had nightmares because he framed and betrayed his mentor!
It was because of this that he lost his last chance to save himself.
"All the strength has been figured out, there is only one hundred-man team here, which is dominated by knights loyal to the queen, Shaker and the Duke of the West, who are leading the army with Silvereye in the rear......"
Jon said sullenly.
"Ham is really a fool, he is really a fool."
Laver smiled disdainfully.
"Because of you, I lost a friend." Jon clenched his fists, his face flushing slightly.
"But we will get more, as long as the plan is implemented smoothly...... Always on the winner's side. Laver said, "This is what I learned when I was gambling." ”
"Let's go, don't arouse suspicion."
Jon was silent for a moment, then replied.
……
The next day, the sun was shining.
The entire Dragon City appeared in front of Sulu and the others, and the streets were lit up with lights and underwent some obvious repairs.
"Welcome back, Your Majesty!"
At the entrance, a purple-robed nobleman was waiting there: "Contemptible Henry Robert, the magistrate of the royal capital appointed by Lord Duke Blackshang, it is an honor to serve you!" ”
Henry bowed respectfully.
The Messiah snorted coldly, "Okay, take me to meet the 'Prime Minister'." ”
There was a banter in her voice.
The Governor of the Royal Capital, who must be appointed by the King or the Prime Minister, in her opinion, is a condition put forward by the Duke of Blackcastle - to become the Prime Minister of the Kingdom!
In all fairness, the price is not high, and within the scope of her acceptance, it is the attitude that makes people very dissatisfied.
The Messiah was still bound by the limitations of his thinking...... Because targeting her at this time, it will not do the Duke of Blackcastle the slightest benefit...... The most important thing a true statesman should do at this time is not to bring down orthodoxy and make it stink, but to know how to use its power to the maximum......
'It's a pity...... Aemon may not be a normal person. ’
Sulu said silently in his heart.
"Naturally, the Prime Minister is waiting for you in the palace......
Henry bowed deeply again.
"Let's go."
The Messiah Adam walked before him.
Many knights guarded her, and their armor was shining brightly, full of pride.
Some of them were wandering knights, and some were original royal knights, who successively pledged allegiance to the queen and bet on the Messiah in troubled times.
Now, their former game will be rewarded handsomely!
After the group entered the city, Sulu suddenly looked back.
Discover the gates of the Dragon City, I don't know when it starts to close slowly, with an ominous smell.
