"Lord Julius, you really have to think of something this time, there is no information from Fira's side, the team that went to arrest the princess has been traveling for two days, if you want to say that those blood moon light riders who straddle the horses, there should have been some information, whether it is a blessing or a curse, there is always a saying that it is not, is it not in vain that it is not clear that it is like the royal city inspector team that was once sent to Gordon Town?" Cohen Manny tried hard to persuade him in the secret room, but he couldn't get the slightest benefit from the guy in front of him who refused to even take off his gray robes, and the former had already intuitively felt that this trip between the Heavy Rider and the Blood Moon Knights would inevitably be variable

"Lord Julius, you are willing to come to our mansion to spy for a while, you must want to tell me some unknown news, the stakes are very high, if this trip fails, maybe the Cohen family is about to be in danger, you must know that our king is moody, maybe one day he will take our family knife, hey, I have been serving my king respectfully for many years, I really didn't expect to fall into such a sad end, my lord, you say, for Wang Cheng, don't you even have a little basic trust?" Speaking of this, the corners of Cohen's eyes flashed with tears, and at this moment, Cohen was moved first

After that, Cohen Manny refilled himself with another glass of wine, but out of the corner of his eye, the glass placed in front of Julius was still unmoved, as if this guy had never been interested in fine wine, let alone the gluttonous feasts on the round table in this secret room, and even the frankincense stewed tender pig cultivated by Hans, one of the head chefs of his own family, the forbidden tongue Hans

Obviously, this is not at all what Manny expected, from the beginning of the secret meeting, Manny is completely alone in the speech, and Julius, as the audience, is more silent than a prisoner with his tongue cut

"Lord Julius, the last time you came here, you can guide the development of our Cohen family in the right direction, my grandfather directly gave up the hundreds of knights in his hand, all handed over to my king as a vanguard, and the family fiefdom in the successive cultivation of attendants or mercenaries, all recorded in the household, so that our king can rest assured, from then on, the Cohen family only cares about gold coins and trade, and the competition is only no longer involved, but our king let our clan cooperate with eighty knights to capture Princess Olivia and others, this kind of order should not be issued to our clan, my lord, you are difficult to open, but you must also be at this juncture when the situation is unclear, show us a way to live, my lord!", Cohen burst into tears, and almost knelt down for Julius, but the guy in front of him with a masked face was covered by a gray and white hat, and he couldn't see any expression at all, Cohen was really anxious, whether to say the thing in his heart, or not to say, Cohen was difficult to judge for a while, after all, there is only one hole card, and it is really over after playing~

"But my lord has always been far-sighted, and I am my king's extremely pitiful Aiqing, maybe there are some things not to say, I probably know in my heart, what responsibility is there, let me bear it alone, I have a son and a daughter under my knees, I can keep the two of them safe, don't panic too much in the clan, I will be content..." , Cohen lamented stupidly, after all, he is just a pawn under Lao Wang, when he says that he wants to abandon it, Lao Wang will not hesitate at all, the family has not won any princess for many years, such a simple relationship between monarchs and ministers, what can not be abandoned?

Just as Cohen was trying to find a topic to continue with in order to break the endless silence, the mouth under the mask finally spat out a few words in a weird yin and yang voice

"Why don't you send Billy, your eldest son, to Fira, but your cousin's son, Cohen Thrace, to Fira? Even the old butler Krona, who was on the travel list, was in trouble with him, and it was the first time that he had heard of someone vomiting and diarrhea under the flower street of the royal city, after all, it was one of your family's spheres of influence. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoCould it be that those old bustards would actually drug their old boss's wine and try to poison your precious son?"

Manny had known that this would happen as scheduled, but the person who questioned him was either Lao Wang or Julius. However, Manny had already prepared a countermeasure so that the guy in front of him could listen to it convincingly

"I'm not interested in this either, because Billy isn't usually interested in these things. This kid is obsessed with swordsmanship, although he is not as talented as Byron, but he can be regarded as a diligent learner, perhaps the scale of this operation is too large, and Billy always wants to make a name for himself in the family, so that everyone does not always say that this kid only has a rich father, and has no achievements in military achievements. You know, why the Cohen family has never won a princess, defeat is defeated, none of us in the group can match the might and courage of Lauster or Lucas, Billy said to me a few days ago, 'Father, there is a good chance to get ahead!', this kid is really interested. But if you want to blame me, the guy who is a father, it's self-defeating, I want Billy to relax his mind, and by the way, I want to take a look at the situation of Flower Street, after all, the Fire Festival is coming soon, and Flower Street directly affects the scale of one-tenth of Wangcheng's revenue this year, so I sent Billy and the old butler Krone to investigate the situation, but I didn't expect Billy, this kid can't hold it, so he cooperates with the disobedient old Krone who has a hangover and doesn't return, and when he comes back, he still roars something, 'Thousands of military flags are flying in the wind, and the princess is just in the bag' Such words scared me so much that I wanted to kick this guy out of the house, but you must know that I am just this one son, Byron, hey, how good it would be for Byron's grandmother to be a man! So in a hurry, I could only let Thrace be the commander-in-chief, replacing Billy, and now Billy, the stinky boy, was still locked in my bedroom and thought about it, and his humiliating howl alone has made the old and young of our mansion extremely sad, for the sake of this feeling, Lord Julius will spare Billy, please!" Manny said as he took out an extremely valuable small box from under the table, the box was inlaid with intricate patterns directly above, and the surrounding material was high-grade crystal, and before Manny was ready to open it to Julius to reveal the treasure hidden inside, Julius's palm pressed Manny's arm that was about to move, and then, the voice from under the mask continued to sound

"Oh, I didn't expect that you still have a [container] hidden, don't you know that hiding [container] privately is the crime of beheading?"

"Of course I know, this thing has just been sent to our mansion not long ago, and the current situation is chaotic, so before I can find a suitable owner, where do I dare to casually enshrine it to my king, in case my king is dizzy and loses it, but it's too late to regret it, after all, there are not many people who can use this thing, and when you want to use it, you often can't find it~"

"Haha, it seems that you want to impress me with this thing?", Julius smiled, in fact, Julius's heart has already been pinched and paid attention to, he must get the thing called [container] in front of him, to put it bluntly, what is in this crystal box is just a strange bottle, but it is not just a random bottle that can be competent for the effect of [container], only the white keel, after countless generations of careful polishing of predecessors, can be loaded into the [fire] that has been separated from the flesh And as long as some blood is occasionally sprinkled into this filled fire, the fire can continue to burn with a very small flame, until the right person is found, and the fire will be grafted on the back of the lucky person, so it is not so much that [fire] is extremely precious, but that ordinary people want to have the power of [fire], [container] is indispensable. At that time, Princess Olivia secretly took a [container] containing tinder out of the royal city, so that Lance was successfully inoculated inexplicably, so there was no container in the royal city, but this thing in front of Julius seemed to make the relationship between the two become a little closer from the previous silence

"How dare you", Manny burst into tears and laughed, seeing that things had finally taken a turn for the better, Manny immediately reversed course and continued

"Because this thing was obtained from the hands of one of my spies, it must be the thing that the princess once took away, if you can let the adults bring it back and dedicate it to my king, maybe my king can be happy for two days, and naturally I will no longer blame the Cohen family for the ugly thing of the temporary change of generals~, besides, that Thracian kid has always wanted to contribute to the family, and he can be regarded as half of my son, so please be gracious~" , Although Manny's words are to the point, but Julius is a guy who leaks cards so easily, and the things he calculates in his heart are not so simple at all

Julius slowly opened the box, and a piece of keel the size of a fist inside, polished snow-white and shiny, without the slightest trace of erosion by time, and the opening of the white container had obviously been damaged, it seemed that it had been forcibly picked open with a dagger, and a little metal powder was still left on the bone cover, and when Julius gently touched the container with the scent of sandalwood with his hand, a strange thought came to his mind. Why was the bottle he was carrying with him so small, it was like the difference between a quail egg and a goose egg, so Julius fell into a moment of deep thought, but soon the guy began to talk again

"Well, for the sake of the merit of the captured treasure, in front of my king, I will not say a few good words to you. But you have to know, if it weren't for Byron's stinky girl's words, how could Princess Olivia flee in a panic? Look at what you have born, either the young master who went shopping in the flower street before the war and got so drunk that he didn't even know Lao Tzu, or the disgusting scum who couldn't even distinguish between men and women since he was a child, and liked to sneak to the prison to sleep with Princess Olivia, and even you yourself are trying to get out after taking over the king's order, I think you are really happy enough." Julius was so insulting that he cut to the heart of Cohen Manny, who was powerless

"Besides, Nongfu Shandeli can be regarded as a secret agent carefully cultivated by you, from a professional point of view, how can you just throw it into the sacrificial field to be a human candle, two days ago I saw this guy crying and mourning, hey, this taste is really can't survive, can't die. Don't you have the slightest sense of guilt in your own heart, this guy has brought you such an important thing, just based on the information described in his mouth, you can exchange the rest of your life for stability, but you are so poisonous, before I go, the heart of the candle has burned to his intestines, and I can't save it again."

"Not to mention how stupid you are, the treasury is not abundant, but you just gave those eighty people gold coins that can live for more than half a year, so raise prices, how can you let my king drive the expedition in the future, is it possible to gather the team while sprinkling jewels in front of this group of stinky knights? You must know that even the Wangcheng Inspector Team does not dare to make a random attack before the king's order, and if you don't send a single child, you have to go into battle obediently for our king, the battle of Giant's Valley, the battle of Gordon Town, and the months-long battle with the knight kingdom, where is the army so disorganized like now? This must be counted as what your Cohen family is doing to add fuel to the fire! Yes, everyone may have lived a good life, but they have forgotten what is called honor, what is called dedication and sacrifice, and they pay more attention to the heavy gold coins in their pockets. It costs money to make a shield with cast iron, it costs money to repair a broken heavy sword, it costs money to eat and drink Lazar's grandmother, but more and more money is spent, who is to blame for this? Don't blame you, the old fox who holds the lifeblood of the economy, but also blame the hero who sits on the throne and does his best for everyone? You must know that my king was still muttering to me yesterday, why the price of beef and mutton has risen by nearly half in recent years, and why has the Harrikan Plain suffered a snowstorm?" After all, Julius felt a little thirsty, so he picked up the wine glass on the table and drank it all, of course, his mask still wouldn't be taken off, so Cohen Manny was upset for a while

"My lord," Cohen Maniyan said, after all, he had already played a card in his hand, and although he was at a disadvantage now, he was not completely passive as he was at the beginning

"Although it is true that there are some scum and fools in our clan, you must know that I vouch for the name and honor of my family, and the Cohen family will always be on my king's side, and of course, on your side Lord Julius, but I have never thought of making a mistake. The gold transported from the Jinsha City has always been directly handed over to the national treasury and printed into a golden currency, supporting the operation of the entire continent. And the [Resurrection Liquid] that was transferred through the Far North was reluctant to use even a drop of my father's death, and he gave it all to my king. The loyalty and hard work of the Cohen clan may be insignificant in the eyes of others, but at least it still has some weight in the heart of our king, otherwise how could I continue to guide the country on the battlefield of this currency. But this is not the point I want to talk to adults today, the point is, how to keep the bloodline of the Cohen family from the next turmoil, after all, what is in this crystal box, adults know it, and once the owner of this thing grows up, maybe, maybe~", Cohen was silent, a figure appeared in his head, familiar and unfamiliar, tall and majestic figure, this figure is a guy who he doesn't want to think about anymore

"I didn't expect the word foresight to be placed on your Cohen family, it's not too much~", Julius actually poured himself a glass of wine, tasted a small sip, and continued

"Just a little spark, you can think of the scene after being burned to the plain, and there are only a handful of people in the entire royal city who can do this. Indeed, although it is peaceful, the major giants have already secretly gathered and waited for the moment to come, but I can't tell you more, after all, this belongs to my king's private secret. However, I only have a little advice, you clan, if you want to be stupid, be stupid and thorough, don't have any bird-egg-like relationship with other families who support the army and respect themselves, and it's best not to have a stinky girl like Byron who is smart but is mistaken by cleverness, Lauster and Lucas, are objects you can't afford to provoke, but since I can come here, it shows that my king's trust in you, whether you can take over everything in a certain family after the storm, it also depends on the will of God and the heart of the king, in short, only promise will inevitably die tragically on the battlefield, and if you advance too quickly, you will also end up with a separation, but don't use too many of your spies to listen around, you must know that spies often do not have only one master”

With that, Julius got up and wanted to leave, but he didn't expect Cohen Manny to take Julius's arm without hesitation and put a heavy thing in the palm of Julius' hand

"This?", Julius hesitated, looking at the strange green glow of the transparent glass bottle in his palm, and suddenly understood why

"The adults are in charge of the information exchange in the royal city, it must be tiring, the things in the bottle are the only bottles that arrived last month, I heard that the knight kingdom no longer sells [revival liquid] to the outside world, my little cubs used ten young whales to replace such a small bottle, just give it to the adults to dispose of~" After all, Julius has served the king for a long time, maybe a few years younger after using this thing, it is not impossible, after all, only the king has the right to enjoy the things in the whole country, to the palm of Julius, this is the first time, and it is also Cohen Manny's last hole card. Of course, Julius has been in officialdom for many years, and he already knows what Cohen Manny wants to know, and what he just said is completely perfunctory, and it is time to show his hole cards so that the old fox can feel at ease

"Hey, for the sake of such a generous gift, I can only tell you so much", so said Julius, dipping his finger in some wine, drew on the table, and then quickly erased it, as if it were just a glass on the table scattered on the ground, and soon, only the lonely Cohen Manny was left lying on the huge chair, thinking about all kinds of possibilities

The pattern drawn on the table was deeply reflected in Cohen's mind, a crescent moon, and a strange head next to it, although Cohen couldn't quite tell what this head looked like, but judging from the shape, it was indeed a banshee in the sea. These two patterns directly represent the two major families in the royal city, the Lucas family and the Marcus family. No, this is just the beginning, but there must be no mistake in the direction, under such a big gift today, the old king must allow Julius to say some clues, perhaps from this moment on, he should pay close attention to the movements of these two families, after all, the beginning of the collapse of any huge building, is often from the gradual accumulation of small problems, Cohen Manny knows this well, so he will not let himself and his family on the cusp of the upcoming storm become a victim of the struggle for power between the wealthy

After thinking for a long time, Manny felt a little tired, so he called a maid with a good appearance, and did something in this secret room, at this moment Manny squirmed his body, while trying to bury his thoughts in his heart, for the continuation of the bloodline of the Cohen family, he would have a few more cubs this year~

......

......

......

......

......

Julius walked straight towards the princess's bedroom, although he knew very well in his heart that the old king was waiting for him at the bottom of the sacrificial arena at the moment, but two days had passed, and the things in the bottle must not fall into the hands of others, all Julius quickened his pace, and he couldn't wait to fly directly, but Julius knew very well in his heart that in this dangerous moment, he must stabilize himself, no matter how much the old king trusted himself and his family, but if other families found some clues, life would not be easy

So Julius quickly arrived at the path next to the dormitory, where almost no one could come on weekdays, with his unique gray robe and white mask, Julius was able to approach this area under the pretense of investigating the scene, so that a group of guards surrounded outside blocked all the guys who wanted to come to find out, except for the guy named Lucas Teddy, this guy could make Julius have a headache all of a sudden, I didn't expect such a coincidence, even two nights in a row, this guy stayed outside the princess's bedroom and cried, although the inspectors of the royal city checked the dormitory before and afterBut I couldn't find any more information, and the only thing I could see was the small half-cut birdman's claw that fell to the ground, and the feathers all over the room, I really don't know if the feathers fell from the birdman, or from the velvet quilt that the princess had completely disappeared. Julius's intention to pick it up by a thread that he had secretly attached to the bottle seemed to have to stop there, so he had no choice but to go into the house to say hello and then find another way

"Don't be sad, Lauster Teddy, this sentence was passed on to you by my king himself!", Julius couldn't suppress his mouth even when he spoke normally, after all, the mouth under the mask had never been seen before, but hearing this, Teddy didn't seem to react, and continued to pick up a barrel of wine beside him, and drank it before the dormitory, as if only in this way could he escape from the pain of losing his fiancée, but everyone knew that Teddy was really sad. This guy's first reaction after hearing the bad news was to rush out of the bathroom with a sword on his bare buttocks, run naked for more than a dozen streets and rushed outside the dormitory, and then almost fought with the inspector team stationed outside to maintain law and order, after all, these guys are Teddy's opponents, but who can recognize the ****, unkempt hair of the young master Lauster? As a result, Teddy directly overturned the two unknown guards, and rushed to the dormitory before everyone came to their senses, but this was still his familiar boudoir, and the warm feeling was replaced by the smell of blood and burning. It is a miracle that the big bed, which had enjoyed pleasure with Nicole, was smashed to pieces by the terrifying force, and the fire that spread at that time actually burned all the precious clothes he gave to the princess, and the house did not collapse

"Who the hell did Grandma set the fire?", Teddy at that time was so angry that he couldn't even recognize who he was, after all, the Night Beast was afraid of flames, and the one who set the fire must be someone in the royal city

"Captain Teddy, it is said that the one who set the fire·~~, it was your subordinates who set the fire~", a submissive voice sounded from behind, hearing this, Teddy was so angry that he almost fainted, this group of waste, even a few night beasts can't fight, are you embarrassed to stay in the heavy cavalry group and mess around? So Teddy didn't care about thirty-seven twenty-one, he was going to catch the heavy riders and ask them, but soon, another wave of cold water was poured on top of his head, and the remnants of the fighting heavy riders all died under the birdman's claws, some lost their heads, and some only had half of their bodies left, and their intestines and stomachs were all spilled out, and Teddy scolded his mother, what kind of rank of night beast is this, such a large number of heavy riders, it looks like cheese that has been cut with a knife, what is the armor on this body for?

Teddy was so angry that he forgot to examine the wounds of the dead riders, and perhaps, if Teddy hadn't been so impulsive at the time, he would have at least kept a clue for now. But as the leader of the royal city heavy cavalry regiment, it is possible to be hot-headed occasionally, so Teddy didn't say much, and directly sent people to throw these pieces of meat that can only be called limbs into the sea thousands of miles below the royal city, after all, this kind of thing is simply a slap in the face, after hearing that the princess had an accident, the reinforcements who arrived as soon as possible, but it is the elite of the heavy cavalry that Teddy is proud of, this death is even more filthy than those little cubs who have just become knights' squires, which really makes Teddy speechless, in order to prevent future troubles, it is better to dispose of them as soon as possible, so as not to ask his father and Lao Wang to ask for guilt, and he should be the head of the regiment, but maybe it will be easily cut off

But Teddy, is really like Princess Nicole, in the past six months, Nicole finally agreed to Teddy, gave him everything that was most precious to him, the two would occasionally enjoy each other's warmth at night, and Teddy also promised Nicole that he would definitely hold a vigorous and unparalleled wedding for her, and the two even thought of the name of the child they had not yet conceived, and thought of [Joseph], a hero who had wandered the world in the era of the Four Kings. And unexpectedly, Nicole secretly began to sew the child's small clothes, which simply made Teddy want to stop every time, whether to let the princess conceive Lauster's seed, the father said sternly, even if there is really a skin kiss, but also pay attention to proportion, really make the princess's belly bigger, what if the king is unhappy, so every critical moment, Teddy always tears in his heart, can only look forward to that day as soon as possible. So under Princess Nicole's soft and hard work, Lao Wang finally acquiesced to Teddy and Nicole's good deed, but just as the Lawster family began to prepare for the wedding with great fanfare, Princess Nicole disappeared from this world alive, and she couldn't even find a finger. Although Teddy was angry, he immediately thought of Lao Wang's [Passing the Fire], although the matter of spreading the fire was deeply concealed by the old King and the core loyal ministers around him, but as the eldest son of the family, he was about to gradually take over the affairs of the entire family after the wedding, and Lauster Teddy had the right to know some big news, so Teddy's reaction was that the old king killed Nicole alive, but after his father returned from the last throne meeting, he also began to worry, and muttered vigorously, 'Is it really the Night Beast?' This simply made Teddy unreasonable, and then Teddy learned from his father's mouth that Lao Wang was still sick and terminal, and even the necrotic dander could be seen on his arms, not to mention that a mouthful of rotten teeth in his mouth made his father almost vomit out on the spot, and in the end, Teddy knew that Lao Wang was ready to gamble and live for a few more years, after all, the effect of [Resurrection Liquid] would not be too good if it was used too much, so soon, the father and son ruled out the possibility of Lao Wang's rebellion, and pointed the finger at the heinous night beasts

But Teddy really can't find a place to vent himself, the remaining elites in the Heavy Cavalry Regiment were beaten all over the ground by themselves, and it is impossible to run to the Blood Moon Knights or the Mercenary Group to make trouble, that is not his family's sphere of influence, although Teddy really wants to let some guys who sneer next to him taste what is called the Heavy Riding Seven Swordsmanship, but under the strict lesson of his father, he can only hold his breath and run to the princess's bedroom to cry, of course, in order to keep crying, Teddy also brought a whole carriage of spirits. Anyway, no matter how violent his father Descartes was, Teddy couldn't fit any woman in his heart, including another princess in the royal city, Joey. Although Joey is good friends with Nicole, Teddy has always felt that she is small enough to be his sister, and he never thought that his thick body would crush this lovely person who seemed to be broken at any time, and he would not think about whether his palm could take down her jade peak, in short, Teddy's head contained a Nicole, and it was impossible to fit anyone else. However, when the father saw that Teddy was so stupid, he directly slapped Teddy twice and woke Teddy up

Therefore, after being woken up, Teddy didn't bother to stay in the hall of the family mansion or the heavy cavalry, only here could Teddy feel a little more comfortable in his heart, as if he just waited a little longer, that familiar figure would appear in front of him, instead of just suddenly not even seeing a pool of blood. Teddy's heart sank suddenly, couldn't it be that Princess Nicole was taken away by the Night Beasts? But finally found some strange Teddy, and there was an extra [Blood Diamond] in his hand, it seems that this is the only evidence, maybe some clues can be found in this relic. But what Teddy never expected was that this blood diamond was directly pinched into powder by his hateful father in front of the throne, Teddy didn't know what his father was thinking in his heart, the two fathers and sons were already tense, so Teddy thought in his heart, just get drunk here, and when he sent troops to crusade against those night beasts, he must be the first to rush in front of everyone and kill those guys without leaving a piece of armor. At this moment, Teddy didn't seem to be able to react at all, and Lord Julius, who had been waiting for a long time beside him, also picked up a barrel of wine and poured it into his mouth~

"Ah~~, Lord Julius, I, I didn't see you coming here at all~", Teddy burped in embarrassment, but the little smile that Teddy tried to squeeze out turned into tears in the corners of his eyes
