The next evening, Della once again arrived at Yuren's hotel, but unlike before, this time, he was not here to assassinate Master Zack.

"This is a reply from my master, Mr. Felix. ”

As before, Della hid in the shadows, respectfully reaching out his hands and handing over his master's letter to Yuren. At this moment, he has long lost his previous arrogance, and after face-to-face fighting, Della has realized that he can't bargain at all in front of this young nobleman.

Is he really just a high-ranking swordsman?

Quietly peeking at Yulian who was intently reading the letter, Della couldn't help but subconsciously stroke the wound on the back of his hand, frankly speaking, he had also fought against several high-level swordsmen, except for the first mission, the rest were specially issued challenges to the other party in order to hone his strength. Of course, high-level swordsmen are indeed difficult to deal with, after all, they are characters who can fight against a hundred on the battlefield, but when fighting with those high-level swordsmen, Della did not encounter a similar situation, if fighting with those guys was only a little difficult and difficult, then the previous battle with Yuren was simply at a loss for him. In front of this young nobleman who looked to be only twenty years old, he no longer seemed to be a skilled killer, but a rookie who had just begun to fight! Indeed, high-level swordsmen were very powerful, but he was already familiar with their routines, and no matter what, at least he had the power to resist. But these methods did not play any role at all in the face of Yulian, as if the whole battle had ended at the same time as it began, and he had no choice and a chance to grab it.

Is this kind of strength really something that a high-level swordsman can have?

Della was suspicious in his heart, but there was no evidence, after all, his strength was not high, and he couldn't understand the thoughts of high-level swordsmen, so for his own judgment, Della only doubted, but there was no way to be sure.

While Della was carefully observing Yuren, Yuren was looking intently at the letter in his hand, and it was evident that the owner of the letter was well aware of his intentions and his present position, and in a cautiously and respectfully worded text made a vague request for cooperation, and expected to be able to negotiate with him face-to-face, of course, at the time, place, and conditions he decided. I have to say that this person is still very courageous, after all, not anyone can say such words. Moreover, although he knew his current position, the tone of the letter was not very anxious, and it was quite different from the old man before.

Was it out of confidence in their strength, or was it a grasp of the whole situation, or was he sure that he could offer enough conditions to make Yulian happy?

Very interesting guy.

"I'm done with the letter. ”

Yulian closed the letter in his hand and handed it to Ofaryl on the side.

"I feel the sincerity of your master......... Since he wishes to have a face-to-face meeting with me, let him come here at this time tomorrow evening, and it doesn't matter how many people he brings. ”

Speaking of this, Yulian paused meaningfully.

"Of course, although it is not a threat to me that you bring many people with me, I will still make some sense for the safety of potential customers. ”

Hearing this, Della's face turned slightly red, and to be honest, he was really worried about whether Yulian would ask him to go alone in order to test his master's sincerity. After all, this inn is not as good as before, and just this morning, the Zach family had sent their soldiers to send all the travelers from this inn except for Yuren, not even the owner of the inn. Not only that, but they even dispersed the residents living around the inn and forcibly carved out a no-man's land here.

Of course, this is to protect the safety of Young Master Zack, of course, Akari said so, but no one knows what is going on in private. After all, up to now, the Zack family has not been completely divided, and many people can't tell whether they are friends or foes, but they all coincidentally sent their own soldiers to come here for "protection", naturally because they are afraid that the other party will strike first. The orthodox faction is afraid that the opposition will fish in the water and take people away from their noses. And the opposition, of course, is also afraid that the orthodox faction will reach an agreement with Yu Lian and return to the family with the little young master. So the forces of the two sides began to confront each other in secret.

Of course, they didn't dare to use tough measures against Yu Lian, one of them was because the terrifying strength of the high-level swordsman was there, and it was not a target that their own private soldiers could deal with. As for the other reason, it will turn the conflict between the two sides into a positive one, no matter which side wants to get the little master, the other side will naturally do its best to stop them, and in this way, the last tranquility of the Zack family will also end, and what will follow is a never-ending war.

At that time, it doesn't matter whether the little young master is alive or dead. Because the two sides have torn their faces, there is no room for maneuver.

In this case, if the master comes alone, it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no eventuality, although the family tries to avoid large-scale conflicts and battles, but such private assassinations and strife are completely unstoppable. Luckily, Yuren clearly didn't intend to do so - or, as he said, no matter how many people they brought in, it wouldn't be him.

Is this a reflection of blind confidence or strength?

"I'll convey that to my master. ”

Della didn't think about it anymore, with his status and status, it didn't make much sense to think about these things, but since the other party didn't name him, then his master's safety was guaranteed, and he was finally relieved. Thinking of this, Della didn't say any more nonsense, he solemnly bent down, and then disappeared into the shadows again.

"How?"

It wasn't until Della left that Julien turned his head and looked at Offariel, who was silently reading the letter, and before coming to Loa City, she had relied on her words and ingenuity to extract a lot of information about the inside of the Zack family from Young Master Zack's attendants. And those attendants did not suspect Ofariel's intentions at all, and it can be said that they knew everything and said everything. Of course, with their political IQ, what they can know is quite limited. But fortunately, along the way, Custer was also asking for information for them, although it was not very comprehensive, but at least it was able to get a general understanding.

"The other party is indeed very sincere............ That's all we can get from the correspondence at the moment. ”

Ofariel folded the letter in her bosom and replied. Then she frowned slightly, as if she was a little confused.

"But this Mr. Keller Zucker, if I remember correctly, should be the cousin of the young master. He was the son of the elder patriarch's sister and another side nobleman, and the squires said that he was one of the members of the family who were strong enough to protect the child and restore the rule of the orthodox bloodline. ”

"It is also the most powerful candidate for collateral blood competition. ”

Yulian picked his eyelids and immediately gave the final answer.

"After all, if a clansman who is too far away from the blood relationship, even if he participates in it, it will be difficult for him to get on the throne in the end. ”

Offariel was not actually surprised by Yuren's judgment, she just nodded slightly in agreement.

This is not surprising, although the nobility has traditionally had an absolute qualification for the inheritance of the patriarch by direct blood, but this qualification can also change. If the heirs in the lineal line are one male and one female, then the male surname will be given priority, but if there is no male surname, then the female surname can also be recognized. But if you don't even have a female surname, then you can only find some members who are close to the direct blood to inherit the family, like this Mr. Keller, whose mother is a member of the direct Zack family, but after marrying into the side nobles, this part of the blood has faded. Of course, as the younger sister of the old patriarch, her own direct blood relationship will still be recognized, but the children and grandchildren she gave birth to cannot, although they are related by blood, they cannot be regarded as direct nobles.

In this regard, this Keller is somewhat similar to O'Fariel's background, although from a strict theoretical point of view, they are both regarded as people who have inherited direct blood, but if it is not for the necessity, their blood relationship is basically impossible to be recognized. O'Faryl was accepted by the royal family because he showed the characteristics of the royal family. And this Mr. Keller is not as lucky as her, and if he wants to be recognized by his direct bloodline, then he will have to wait for a situation to arise before this possible surname emerges. And from this standpoint, as long as Young Master Zack dies and there is no successor to his direct bloodline, he may appear on the stage as a nominee. After all, this family is the Zach family, and even if there is no direct blood heir, it is absolutely impossible to let some side families with weak blood take a place. And the old patriarch has only one sister and only one child, so this means that as long as Young Master Zack dies, whether it is the opposition or the orthodox, the only candidate who can be considered in the end is him.

And once this situation arises, then Keller will be recognized by both sides, in the eyes of the orthodox, although his blood is not pure, but after all, he is the child of the sister of the old patriarch. Barely acceptable. From the perspective of the opposition, although the other party has a certain degree of direct blood, it is a side clan after all, and it is not possible to say that the chances of finally fighting for their own interests are quite large. If it was that Young Master Zack, then the confrontation situation might not end in a short time, after all, he was a descendant of direct bloodline, no matter what attitude he showed, it was impossible to ignore the separation of bloodlines. Keller, on the other hand, is a little ambiguous, and if he is put on the throne, then at least the contradiction between the direct and secondary lines can be alleviated.

And now, since he has put on a picture of standing on the position of the orthodox, it shows that this person is still very smart. After all, he also knows that his identity is very sensitive, after all, he is the most powerful collateral contender, and if he joins the opposition, then he will be noticed and hostile. But if you defend Orthodoxy, you can't convince everyone, but at least you can take the moral high ground. And in this case, once the young master Zack dies, he can be "forced to helplessly" and "reluctantly" accept the position of patriarch and re-lead the entire Zack family.

Yuren has not yet met this Mr. Keller, but judging by his performance in the letter, he is a very smooth man. If you can be sure that your customer has this surname when you meet, then Yuren will be more comfortable negotiating with the other party. After all, having a sleek surname and a decent demeanor means that he should be able to move between the opposition and the orthodox at ease. And when you cooperate with such a person, the success rate is higher, and you will naturally get more sweetness.

"They weren't suspicious?"

The kid was already a little skeptical, but he was just a kid after all......... Maybe he hasn't been exposed to failure all along, so he's still very confident in himself. ”

Ofariel sighed softly.

"As for the others, I haven't found anything yet, but I think the kid might use them to make some temptations. ”

"It's really hard for you to deal with that group of brainless idiots. ”

Yulian patted O'Faryl on the shoulder with emotion, although stupid people have always been easy to deceive, but if they recognize something, it is not easy to reverse it and persuade it. And dealing with this group of people, sometimes far more troublesome than dealing with those cunning and cunning conspirators, Yulian didn't want to deal with idiots, so he pushed them to Ofariel, but in the past few days, it is obvious that even the genius princess who once radiated brilliance in the kingdom is a little unbearable for these idiots, and the originally beautiful and bright face is also a little haggard.

"When this is over, I will definitely ask your lord for a vacation. ”

O'Faryl smiled wryly and said half-jokingly, half-seriously.

"Frankly, I don't want to deal with them anymore even if I go back to Twilight Castle to deal with documents that are taller than a mountain. ”

"I'll approve it then. ”

Yulian waved his hand, signaling that the topic was over. Then he thought about it, and seemed to think of something.

"Wait, O'Fariel, isn't that kid?"

"Huh?"

Hearing this strange question, Offariel was stunned for a moment, she remembered for a moment, and then a trace of disgust flashed across her face.

"Frankly, it didn't look like a child's gaze, especially when he was looking at me......... I hated that look, and even though he was still a kid and couldn't do anything, I always felt ........."

"I see. ”

Hearing this, Yuren nodded and interrupted Offariel's words.

"You can go and rest, Miss O'Fariel, I think I have a better way. ”

Hearing this, Ofaril tilted her head slightly, and then she seemed to sense something, and a blush quickly appeared on her face, and then she turned and walked out the door. A short time later, Custer knocked on the door with a look of confusion and curiosity, and walked into the room.

"I'm sorry to disturb your rest, Lord Yuren, Miss O'Fariel said you have something to do with me?"

It's really worthy of Her Royal Highness the Princess.

Hearing Custer's question, Julien laughed with satisfaction, snapped his fingers, and motioned for Custer to sit down.

"I do need your help. ”

"Please command, sir!"

Hearing Yulian's words, Custer immediately became excited, you must know that he has been trying to win Yulian's trust during this time, but Yulian has never given them any special tasks. And right now, Yulian is obviously planning to let them do something, which makes Custer very excited, if he continues to keep it up, then he will be one step closer to this lord, and the relationship between the two sides will be closer.

"Anything we can do, we're absolutely going to do it. ”

"You must have had a hard time all this time. ”

However, to Custer's surprise, Yulian didn't immediately get into the subject, but threw out an inexplicable and strange inquiry.

"My lord, we don't work hard at all, and it's our honor to be able to do things for you. ”

"It's hard, isn't it? ”

"This ......... It's really not ......... at all."

"It's really hard..............."

"Uh......... It's a bit hard to do. ”

Custer understood that Yulian was forcing himself to follow his words, so he didn't delay anymore, just replied with a hard head.

"I'm your master anyway. ”

With that, Yulian took out a money bag and threw it in front of Custer.

"Of course, I understand that the situation is tense right now, but you always have to relax, don't you? Of course you can't drink alcohol...... But if you are a woman, you can still have fun. Take the money, find a few beautiful women, and let everyone relax, how about it, this is a good proposal. ”

"Your Excellency?"

Hearing this, Custer was really a little confused. Of course, there are many women on this continent who live by selling their bodies, and they often haunt taverns and inns to serve those men. And for soldiers like Custer, there is no shortage of similar services, but at the moment, of course, they dare not do this, not to mention the impact on their future if they are so presumptuous in front of Yulian. O'Faryl alone had already made these soldiers lose the heart to do that kind of thing under the nose of such a beautiful young lady......... How are they going to live?

"You don't have to worry about O'Faryl, she can understand that. ”

Saying this, Yu Lian leaned back, and then showed a gentle and elegant smile.

"But I have one condition, and that is that when looking for women, don't forget to investigate their identities...... It's not difficult for you, and I don't want trouble............ Also, find the most beautiful one, I'm going to use it. ”

"You............ Do you want to use it?"

Hearing this, Custer was really stunned, just those women in the tavern, how beautiful can they be? How could this lord be compared to Miss O'Faryl, this lord is also really, obviously with such a beautiful young lady by his side, but still looking for those dancing girls?

Right now, Custer really couldn't figure out what Yuren was thinking.
