Dark clouds obscured the sun and the air was damp and cold, signaling that freezing rain was coming.

The majestic and towering kite fort is like a majestic giant, standing in the cold wind of the cold cry, standing majestically and motionless.

The Kite Fort complex is so large and winding that no one can tell how many rooms there are in total, and how many secret passages and secret rooms are hidden.

For nearly eighty years, the Faceless Ones, secretly cultivated by the Auguste family, have mastered the main secret room system of the Kite Castle, the largest of which is not only the secret residence of the Faceless Chief, but also the most important potion laboratory of the Augustus family.

It was not built in a gloomy and damp cavern, but on the upper level of the castle, a full 56 meters above the ground, and even had a small window and a row of ventilation holes. When people look up from below, they will only think that it is an ordinary attic, but without the Faceless One leading the way, anyone can only enter an ordinary small attic, not the missing secret room.

In the secret room, four water lizard oil candles the thickness of ordinary people's wrists are distributed in the four corners of the room, and the bright candlelight illuminates the whole room as if it were day.

Sylvia saw it...... If she didn't see it herself, someone must have leaked it!"

Williams pressed one hand to the walnut table, his eyes filled with anger and worry. The Marquis of Golon, who was sitting opposite him, nodded calmly and said:

"Whether or not Sylvia herself sees it, the Faceless One should conduct a strict self-examination, and any factors that may endanger the life of the master must be cleaned up!"

Tofowen put down the letter from the Rose Manor, raised his cloudy old eyes, looked at Auguste's guardian and regent, lowered his slackened eyelids, and said in a tired voice:

"Whoever walks through must leave traces, I have lived long enough, leaving too many traces, it is not surprising that people see through it, especially by the knights of the gods, that is my honor. ”

"Master ......"

Offowen interrupted Williams with a wave of his hand, and said slowly, "The Faceless One was founded by me and your father...... I remember the excitement he felt when he proposed to form the Faceless, and I was struck by his enthusiasm. Speaking of this, the old wizard smiled bitterly, shook his head and sighed, "That guy has only been busy for four months before he lost interest in the Faceless One and left it to me...... Until the eve of his assault on the Elemental Sea, he privately asked me to do so, and he didn't mention the Faceless. He's not forgetting, he's just treating the Faceless as an outdated game...... What a nostalgic bastard. ”

Goron Auguste smiled with a rare smile, "Bonellath never spoke to me about the Faceless. ”

With his hands clasped on his abdomen, he leaned on the back of the rocking chair and said in a relaxed voice: "Actually, you know very well that it is impossible for the Faceless One to leak secrets, and the person most likely to leak secrets is Roland...... But as I watched her grow up, I knew that Ryan's daughter would never betray me, even though she hated me. ”

"You just did what you had to do. Goron said, with a jaw bow.

"Queen Irene didn't regret her choice until she died, and I didn't regret letting her choose, we just did what August had to do. ”

Tofowen sat up straight, stared at Williams, and said, "You want me to hand over the Faceless?"

Williams met the old wizard's perceptive gaze, restrained his smile, and said calmly, "Yes." ”

"I'm old, and my days are numbered...... It's time to hand over the Faceless. ”

The old wizard leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes as if he were asleep. Williams and the Marquis of Goron waited patiently, and came over for a long time, when they heard Toffowen say:

"The Faceless has two Grand Knights, 7 Knights, 24 Apprentice Knights, 2 Sorcerers, 4 Wise Gnomes, 127 Top Craftsmen, 37 Pretenders, 42 Berserk Guards, 173 Stalkers, and 466 Armed Warriors. ”

Williams inhaled uncontrollably, except for the knights and wizards, everyone else was a secret law dead man carefully cultivated by Toferwen. Each of them has their own strengths, and Williams only knows that the armed warriors of the Faceless are skilled in the use of all kinds of weapons, and the weakest ones also have the combat power of a junior probationary knight. Since Tofowen ranked the armed warriors at the bottom, the other types of arcane warriors must be superior.

The Faceless One is an amazing force!

Tofowen glanced at the regent lightly and said, "I'm not going to hand over the Faceless One to you. I want to give the Faceless to Roland August. ”

"What?!Why?" Williams couldn't believe his ears and couldn't help but question loudly.

Tofowen said disapprehantly, "The final decision is up to Golon." He turned his head to the Guardian and asked, "You decide, who will lead the Faceless?"

Marquis Goron pursed his lips, his expression was grim, he thought for a moment, and said in a deep voice: "Roland intends to follow the example of August's ancestor and impact the legendary realm, she is about to leave the Kite Castle, you give her the Faceless One? ”

The old wizard said weakly: "In my eyes, there is no Williams, no Roland, no Edward, only August. With Roland's charm and ability, whether she sets foot in the legend or not, she will gather a group of followers around her, but how can I allow outsiders to abduct the eldest princess of the Auguste family? ”

Marquis Golon nodded, shook his head again and said with a smile: "I'm afraid that Roland won't accept it." ”

"It's better to do it smartly than to do nothing. ”

Goron looked at Williams and said euphemistically, "Your Highness, irises don't always lay eggs in one nest, don't you think?"

"I have no opinion. The regent smiled bitterly, and then said to the old wizard, "Uncle Toferwen, for my grandfather's sake, for my father's sake, you must leave something for the kite, right?"

Tofowen pointed at Williams and scolded with a smile: "You guy, I'm not dead yet." ”

"The Master's most valuable treasure is not the Faceless One, nor the High Knight of Auguste, who has been given him by him...... Or Victor, but his great achievements in the field of pharmacy. The Marquis of Goron said to Williams, "Your Highness, Master Tofervan's most valuable treasure has been left to the Kite Castle. ”

Williams spread his hands and complained innocently, "...... I'm just kidding, you can't have a sense of humor, can you?"

"August...... Hey. Tofowen shook his head helplessly, picked up the letter again, and asked, "Why do you think Sylvia has seen through Victor's details?"

Williams nodded and said, "Twenty-three days ago, the Duke of York sent the first letter to Kiteburg, in which he offered to invite Catherine and Victor to visit Naville together. I wondered what Sylvia had seen, but it was a good thing for us. Therefore, in accordance with the etiquette of the exchange of visits by members of the royal family, Viscount Randall was listed as the queen mother's entourage, and began to prepare for the visit. ”

"Who knows, Sylvia, as the guardian of the kingdom, personally wrote a letter to the Kite Castle, asking Viscount Randall to be the envoy of the kingdom of Neville, and Catherine went to Neville privately just to accompany her lover. Williams furrowed his eyebrows and continued: "This is not in order! It even damages the reputation of the Gambis royal family...... My advisors believe that Sylvia's move is intended to open up the relationship between Victor and Catherine to the world, and also to show us that the York family is willing to promote the political structure of the kingdom of the royal family. But I know what makes Catherine special, and Sylvia naming Catherine to accompany Victor on his visit to Neville is most likely a suggestive temptation. This shows that she should be aware of it. ”

Tofowen pondered for a moment, closed his eyes and sighed, "The wisdom of the transcendent is beyond human imagination. ”

Williams nodded his head in deep opinion: "Sylvia is a god knight, she has deduced the layout of the kite castle for more than ten years from only a few subtleties, and accurately identified the key person Catherine. ”

"I'm talking about Victor. Tofowen shook his head in correction.

Marquis Gorlon's expression moved slightly, and before Williams, he interjected and asked, "Master, do you also think that Victor has reached the Golden Rank?"

"Golden Rank? Doesn't it mean that it will take more than forty years for Victor to advance to the bloodline of the Sun Elves? It stands to reason that he won't touch the Golden Rank so quickly...... It's not been a year yet!" Williams asked in surprise.

Turning the whites of his cloudy eyes, he said, "I said that Victor needed 44 years to be promoted to the Sun Elf. More than ten years ago, I also said that Victor had no hope of awakening, but I was wrong...... Who knows what happened to Victor? maybe, within a few years, his Moon Elf bloodline will mutate towards the Sun Elf. ”

"Damn, I can't rearrange Victor in such a short period of time!" Williams slapped his forehead with his hand, looking annoyed.

"Layout, who gave you the courage to lay out a layout for a highness?" said in a calm tone, "We spent hundreds of thousands of gold sor worth of resources to create Victor, but he has reached the level of a golden powerhouse or above, and you still want to control him? Why did August control a highness with golden blood? You look at what Roland did, and then how Sylvia treated him, and how Pope Clement did it?"

Williams was stunned and said ashamedly: "Roland treats Victor with sincerity and affection, and has brought him into the circle of great nobles early...... In terms of vision and wisdom, I am not as good as Roland. ”

The old wizard shook his head and said, "The difference between you and Roland is not in your wisdom vision, but in your different mentality. After Ryan's death, the burden of the kingdom is on the shoulders of you and Goron, and it is enough for Gambis to have a god knight, and you instinctively want to keep all the variables under control, and you don't want to have another highness besides the Auguste family. Roland didn't have this burden, Ryan died in battle, she only wanted to improve her strength, so she decided to woo Sylvia from the beginning to prepare for her departure in advance. In her opinion, there is no loss, only benefit, to show kindness to her former playmate, Sylvia's current lover...... So why not do it?"

Marquis Golon let out a long breath and said in a deep voice, "The master is right. Sylvia's two letters revealed a lot of strange things, but I always had the desire to bring Victor back under the fleur-de-lis, ignoring Sylvia's warnings and a fact that explained everything. ”

"From the York family's point of view, they certainly don't want Victor's blood to flow out. When Victor visits Neville, Sylvia is sure to arrange for a high-ranking female knight to accompany him. But the House of York didn't want to incur too much resentment from the high-ranking female knights of Neville, so they used the Queen Mother of Gambis as a shield. The problem is that Victor did not agree to be accompanied by a high-ranking female knight of the York family. So Sylvia had to write a second letter for Catherine, as Viscount Randall's lover, to accompany him on his visit to Neville. ”

Marquis Gorlon's face was covered with a smile of incomprehensibility, a little schadenfreude, but also a little frustrated and frustrated.

Williams suddenly realized, and said with a chin head: "Victor revealed to Patriarch Tamor through a love letter to Catherine that Clement had designed a system of mutual aid, and that he was calculating the Pope! So, Sylvia must respect Victor's opinion. Although Clement was designed by Victor, he valued his potential and identity. The Pope took advantage of the situation and asked Victor to help Neville through the difficulties, and then commended him for his merits, personally held a prayer of light for him, and indirectly formed a formal alliance with the Knights of the Gods. But the Pope's main purpose is to get closer to Victor!"

The Marquis of Goron said with a blank face: "At the canonization ceremony of saints presided over by the Pope himself, Viscount Randall was accompanied by the high-ranking female knights of the York family, which is enough to prove that this new highness is close to the York family. Since Victor did not have a high-ranking female knight of the York family by his side, Sylvia would never want Catherine to publicly attend the canonization ceremony of Viscount Randall as Queen Mother of Gambis. ”

Williams couldn't contain his anger and slapped the table and stood up, "It's too much!" Sylvia deliberately reinforces that Catherine is Randall's lover, not Randall's lord...... No, I will write a letter to His Majesty Rex and tell him that it was Queen Catherine August who led Viscount Randall to the Kingdom of Naville!"

Without saying a word, Tofer took out a blank parchment letter from the drawer and pushed it to the regent of Gambis, along with a quill pen and ink.

"You write. ”

Williams picked up the quill and hung it in the air for a long time, and finally put down the quill and said with a wry smile: "If I write, the political conception of the Augustian royal family and the descendants of York will be over......"

"Better than your brother. Tofowen glanced at Williams, leaned back in his chair, and said slowly, "Sylvia was originally taking the opportunity to test our sincerity...... You're uncomfortable in your heart, and the Spirit Knight is even more uncomfortable. All of Victor's lovers are not bound by marriage, except for Sylvia, which shows the weight of Sylvia in Victor's heart. Can Catherine compete with Sylvia for Victor? With Randall by her side, why is the York family willing to be the descendants of Gambis? Sylvia didn't let Trisley accompany Victor, isn't her sincerity to us enough?"

"Sylvia longs for a true companion, and she is not sure if Victor will be able to reach the level of a god knight. Victor himself can't be sure, but the Randall family also needs an heir. ”

"Only the Golden Knight and the Spirit Knight can conceive offspring of the Sun Elves. The problem is that only one child can be conceived between the Golden Knights, and the number of Golden Female Knights is too small. At present, there are only 7 golden female knights in the entire human realm, including Roland, and only three highnesses have not given birth to children in the golden rank. The golden female knights are not like the silver female knights, they are already at the top, and it doesn't matter if they have children or not, whether they have a partner or not. ”

Tofowen sneered: "In the early days of the Iron Mountain Empire, the ogre king Vulcan squeezed the forces of the human kingdom into a group, and the sword saint Draven had 6 gold-level lovers. Now, the political situation in the kingdoms is stable, and the golden female knights have their own forces, they may be willing to have a child with His Highness Randall, but will they give the child to the Randall family?"

"Until the Moon Elf bloodline is secured, Victor will not be able to allow the Silver Lady Knight to conceive offspring. Sylvia just wanted to see if I could get Catherine to conceive an heir to His Highness Randall...... Luckily, my witchcraft can fulfill the most urgent desires of the two Highnesses, Sylvia and Randall!"

The Marquis of Goron slowly got up, and a vigorous and upward momentum spontaneously appeared, and he solemnly saluted the old wizard and said: "Because of Your Excellency, the four Highnesses of the Gambis are closely connected, and because of Your Excellency, the reins of the carriage of the Gambis are always held in the hands of the Kite Castle. I, Knight of the Oath of King Bonellath, Guardian of the Kingdom of Gambis and the House of Auguste, I pay my respects to Your Excellency!"

The old wizard waved his hand, and then turned to the regent, "Little William, do you know why the Divine Knight is subservient to the position of the descendants of the Gambis? ”

"The royal family must have the bearing of a royal family, and since I came to understand that Victor will become a noble one, I have no idea of manipulating him. We should treat this Highness as a Guardian of the Kingdom, not as a Squire Lord of the Kite Castle. ”

Williams nodded and bowed, "Uncle Toffeven's teachings, Williams August will take to heart. ”

Toferwen closed his eyes, and after a long pause, he suddenly asked, "Where is His Highness Randall's car now?"

Marquis Goron thought for a moment and replied, "At this time, he should have passed the town of Longbridge, and there are still 15 days to go before Blinor. ”

"I suggest that Her Majesty Catherine take the initiative to join Her Highness Randall, and then go directly north to the Kingdom of Neville, without having to make a detour to the royal capital...... When His Highness Randall leaves the Gambis, we will immediately proceed to force the Viscountess of Yehliu City to leave the Buryat family and send her to Silvermoon Manor. ”

Williams thought for a moment and said, "It really should be done, we can't wait any longer." ”

Toferwen knocked on the table, took out a calfskin scroll from the drawer, handed it to the Marquis of Golon, and said, "Although His Highness Randall has voluntarily given up his intention to control Yeliu City, we can't fail to express it. The blue potato potion I developed can reverse the elementalization of the Golden Knight's brain, which is perfect for Sylvia...... Let's give this recipe to His Highness Randall. ”
