"Wait, boy. The old man www.biquge.info the pen "Fun" Pavilion will also go with you......"

Just as Yuri was about to rush to the lord's mansion with his two companions, an old voice suddenly sounded from the door, and someone stepped into the room.

“――！！”

The appearance of the person who came surprised everyone present, with gray hair, but strong muscles that make people completely unable to feel the vicissitudes of time.

"Old, old man, why did you suddenly appear here!? I didn't hear the contact that you were going to enter the city!"

The character who can make the famous [Yaojin Hunter] president Gongcheng 'old man' look at the entire empire is only one - the legendary adventurer Tong?? Whitehouse. Obviously, he didn't carry a weapon today, and he stepped into the association with his bare hands, but he exuded a chilling killing aura all over his body.

"Of course, the old man also decided to come back temporarily, and he just arrived here. ”

"But, aren't you supposed to be in the west of the Empire?"

"There is a big incident in the west, so the old man can only run to ask for reinforcements. ”

"You don't have to come in person, just send a subordinate—"

"Thomas, the old man is saying, 'Something big has happened.'" If the old man doesn't come in person, the mobilization efficiency of the association is not flattering, the old man's old bones, even if he doesn't use it, at least this face is still worth some money, or the old man shows his face in person faster. ”

Whitehouse, who has been in a hundred battles, usually looks calm and relaxed, and rarely hears words like 'something big happens' from his mouth, and he still looks so serious.

Because although Whitehouse is not young, he is a full man of action, no matter what situation he encounters, he will be the first to devote himself to solving it. For a saint-level warrior, but also an adventurer with decades of experience, it feels like the sky is falling and can bear it.

If he can solve the problem smoothly on his own, of course, he has always been disdainful, but if there is anything that the old man can't do alone in recent years, then it will probably only be a few months ago to defeat the demon dragon. In other words, there is a dangerous situation in the west of the empire that even Whitehouse can't solve, and can match the resurrection of the dragon.

“......”

Yuri showed a somewhat embarrassed look at the old-timer who suddenly appeared. To be honest, he respected Whitehouse, but he didn't quite handle him. I always feel that as long as I am looked at by him a few times, everything I think in my heart will be seen through.

"Yuri, I've heard about the situation here from the management of the association, [Treasure Meat Feast]...... Originally, the old man thought it was just an exaggerated rumor, but he didn't expect that the group of pigs of the nobles really made such a thing, and he didn't expect that the so-called 'meat farm' was under the nose of the association...... I understand your eagerness to bring down Capwa and destroy the ranch, but it doesn't work to use Alice's girl. ”

"Spare me, old man, I've just been taught a lesson about this. ”

"No, Yuri, the old man means that you want to use their aristocratic status to push them into trouble, this idea sounds good, but now it is absolutely unworkable. Because, they are no longer nobles. ”

"Huh? What does this mean?"

Whitehouse's sudden words overwhelmed everyone present, although Alice was only the daughter of a country lord, but according to the laws of the empire, she was indeed a nobleman, so everyone was puzzled and waited for the old man's next explanation.

"On his way here from the western part of the empire, the old man passed by the imperial capital and learned a piece of news. A few days ago, the nobles of the imperial royal power, a total of more than 50 people, were collectively killed in the banquet hall of a dinner party. Since the news has been deliberately blocked, it has not yet spread, and now His Majesty the Emperor is personally presiding over the aftermath, and I believe that it will not take a few days, and it will be announced to the whole country when the imperial capital settles down. ”

However, instead of directly answering everyone's doubts, Whitehouse suddenly threw out another heavyweight bomb news.

Originally, the royal nobles of the Terrence Empire were basically corrupt moths that encroached on the country, and their death was not only regrettable, but even worthy of celebration, but because it was too sudden and too detached from reality, everyone fell into a state of astonishment.

"Killing ...... en masse, do you mean the superior nobles who are acting as a prestige!?"

"That's right. Now the royal power is on the verge of collapse and collapse in an instant, and the royal family has regained control of power. ”

"It's impossible to ......! those rice bags are guarded by the 'Blade of Legends'!"

Yuri, in particular, is well aware of the power of the 'Legendary Blade', and as a knight, Chris's first task is to protect the lives of the nobles of the Empire. It will gather an important dinner party for all the superior nobles of the royal faction, and there is no reason why the 'Legendary Blade' should not be sent to escort the scene. To kill people under the noses of the strongest knights of these empires, this is a fantasy. Unless, the prisoner has the extraordinary strength to defeat several knights of the 'Legendary Blade' from the front.

"Wait, old man. First of all, who is the prisoner?"

"Hmph, boy, it looks like you're aware of the point...... You won't be a stranger to prisoners, Lutga?? Count Cruznier, and his daughter Sophia?? Al?? Cruznier. In addition, there were also a number of territorial private soldiers who traveled with the two. The ins and outs of the matter, according to the results of the old man's inquiry-Lutega?? Cruznir led his private soldiers to infiltrate the Imperial Capital at night, launching a surprise night attack on the banquet hall where the royal faction gathered, and after defeating the two Legendary Blade knights who were guards, Count Lutga personally killed all the nobles in the banquet hall. ”

"How, how is it possible!?

Just then, Thomas interjected, who seemed to have figured something out, interrupting Yuri from asking a question halfway through.

"About this, Yuri, you probably don't know about it in the eastern part of the empire. Just recently, a new power has emerged in the western part of the empire. A city alliance made up of the major cities in the western part of the empire. Celestia provided magic guide technology, refined ingredients, and trade in various daily necessities, and also sent knights to train troops in various places and clean up the local monster hazards. And the leader of the alliance is the lord of Celia, Lutga?? Count Cruznier. ”

Cities Alliance, as soon as the word appeared, immediately solved most people's doubts. The alliance is just a nice talk, but in fact it is breeding the seeds of rebellion. If ten years ago, during the reign of the emperor, there was no alliance allowed by the imperial family, he would have been immediately convicted of rebellion, attacked by the imperial army, revoked the lord's nobility, deprived of his domain, and even directly sentenced to death by hanging.

Recently, however, there have been many nobles dissatisfied with the rule of the royal power faction in the imperial capital, and in short, for the sake of self-preservation and ambition, there are many urban alliances created under various reasons. Most of the alliance leaders are secretly planning to split the empire and set up their own portals.

It can be said that the so-called alliance directly means rebellion, and the leader of the anti-rebel party naturally regards the royal power faction in the imperial capital as a thorn in the side that has to be defeated. I believe that no matter who they are, they have the intention to get rid of them quickly. It's just that at best, they can only think about it in their hearts, in the past, no one had the courage to invade the imperial capital head-on and launch a surprise attack on the nobles in power. Everyone can only use political and economic means to contain each other.

But in this regard, Rutga is different. As a hero of the dragon slayer, he possesses a level of force that no one else can imagine, and he is fully capable of challenging the 'Legendary Blade' head-on and directly inflicting devastating blows on his enemies. It's just that...... Yuri, considering what he knew about Lutega's character, was a little incredulous about such a radical approach.

Thomas was right, at least the royal family claimed that everything was the work of Lutga, and that the sentence against him was to strip him of his nobility and exile him from the imperial capital to Celeria. ”

"Oh, this punishment doesn't sound painful, but he's a murderer who slaughtered dozens of people, and he's just exiled, and he's exiled back to his lair...... When did the laws of the empire become so weak?"

Judith said as she gently brushed her hair behind her long ears and smiled a mockingly. However, she was right, after all, rebellion and murder were among the most serious crimes in a feudal and imperial country like the Empire, and if the offender was right, Count Lutga should have been sentenced to death.

"Do you mean...... No one has been able to arrest Rutega's seniors, no, no...... Or maybe there was a reason why I had to let him go......"

"Hah-boy, your brain is pretty bright!"

Just when Yuri was deep in thought, he couldn't help but talk to himself, but he was unexpectedly praised by the old man, "You guessed it right, it is rumored that after killing the nobles, Lutga immediately broke into the palace on the shore of the lake on the top of the mountain, and took Her Royal Highness Princess LaBelle in the palace as a hostage. With the princess of the royal family as a shield, then the 'Legendary Blade' is not easy to act rashly. ”

"It's actually done at this point...... Simply ......"

It was as if he was going to usurp the throne, and Yuri still hid it in his heart after all.

"All in all, now that Count Lutga is no longer a nobleman because of the murder, then Alice's girl is just a commoner's girl, and if the commoners add up their fists and kicks to the nobles, you think about the consequences. ”

There is no doubt that Alice and the others will be regarded as dangerous traitors, and in the worst case, the emperor will directly send a number of knights of the 'Legendary Blade' to hunt them down, even if the two sisters are extraordinary, if they fight alone, they may be above the knights of the 'Legendary Blade', but after all, they are just a little girl, and they can't resist the violence called quantity. What's more, it's so far away from Celestia that there's no guarantee that something will happen along the way.

If things go in the worst direction, Yuri knows that this is undoubtedly his responsibility.

"So old man, after talking about it for so long, as a result, what happened to the west of the empire, what happened, and what did it have to do with the turmoil in the imperial capital?"

To this day, only Thomas remembers that Whitehouse did not explain his original purpose for visiting.

"Whether there is a connection or not, the old man doesn't know, but a few days ago, many cities in the western part of the empire were suddenly attacked by a new type of Warcraft of unknown origin, and the Warcraft was ridiculously strong, flying from the sky in groups, all of them were monsters with a danger of at least A-level, and now only local adventurers could not cope with it, so the old man came here to seek reinforcements. Also, for some reason, since Alice's girl is here, I must bring her back to Celeria, who is young but the most reliable of all. ”

As a result, the attack on the Western Alliance of Silia, the turmoil that broke out in the imperial capital, and the ranch of the [Treasure Meat Feast]—all seemingly unrelated turmoil erupted at the same time, as if the fire of Liaoyuan was about to consume the entire country.
