Nelson and the others bowed down, leaving only the old spy Barol in the seat across the desk.

Victor has known Balor for more than four years. At that time, Sylvia wanted to completely embrace Victor for the first time. In high spirits, she ordered the Sheriff of Blackcastle to set up a bureau for Nelson to kill the Queen's cousin's butler, forcing Victor to change sides and accept the protection of the House of York.

In fact, Victor has no deep feelings for Kiteburg, and Sylvia does a useless thing. But this incident changed the fate of many people, some people lost their lives, and some people soared, and Barol was one of the lucky ones.

At first, Victor didn't trust Balor, he was only interested in the lord's spies, and wanted to gain relevant knowledge from Baror. The ant tide swept through the Centaur hills, and Victor led the alchemy creatures to hold on to their territory and lose contact with the outside world. It was Barol who did everything possible to convey information to him, helping him understand the overall situation in the Centaur Hills and make the right response.

In doing so, Barol won Victor's trust. In the time that followed, he proved his ability and loyalty many times, became Victor's right-hand man, and single-handedly created the Randall family's spy organization Mercury.

Victor admits that Barol is smart. However, there is no significant difference in the intelligence level of normal people, and Randall is not short of intelligent people. In addition to good luck, more importantly, Barol has a desire to survive and self-motivation that is far beyond ordinary people.

** and ambition to fully exploit the potential of Barol. In the Randall family, he was one of the few people who took the initiative to accept the transformation of Victor's thoughts. His passion for learning is second only to Nicole and Lilia.

Nicole and Lilia are young after all, and they love Victor deeply, admire his talent, and are eager to help her lover start a career. And Balor is over half a hundred years old, and it is indeed rare for him to have such energy.

Over the years, Barol has been running from place to place, making great contributions to the development of mercury and gold regiments. His spirit was still relatively strong, but the wind and frost had left indelible marks on his face, and his hair was meticulously dyed with rouge beetles, and the gray roots of his hair revealed old age.

Victor's scrutinizing gaze softened, and he asked kindly, "Todd is your chosen successor?"

"Yes. Balor nodded, and then said with a wry smile: "I recently received a letter from Paul, saying that the attitude of the noble children of the Silver and White Tower has suddenly changed for the better. He wanted to ask, what the hell is going on?"

Paul was a little spy that Barol had cultivated and his favorite disciple. Victor had arranged for two of the best spies to study in the Silver Tower, including Paul. Since the Silver Tower only trained noble scholars, Victor had Lord and Mrs. Nelson adopt Paul and give him the status of Lord Lord's son.

The Lord's adopted son was of a humble status, and Paul must have been discriminated against in an environment like the Silver Tower. There was only one possibility for the nobles' children to change their attitude towards him: Nelson had taken Tournans as his teacher, and the news of the killing of the silver knight Hora had reached the Silver Tower.

In this way, Barol implicitly states that Lord Nelson's adopted son could not be the head of mercury.

The War Bear Mercenaries have become the main political force of the Randall family. Lilia is in charge of the administration and finances of Randall's territory, Nelson is in charge of the mercenaries and vassal guards, Linda is in charge of oversight, Barrett is in charge of the bears, and the rest of the war bear mercenaries indirectly control 20,000 mountain people.

Victor's vassal village chief has long since extinguished his thoughts of fighting the bear. Sheriff Munk resolutely kicked the soldiers out of the police station, but he was also unable to support them. Munch was not only ostracized by everyone, but also fell out with his sister. Because Elsa's adoptive parents were war bear mercenaries, she is now married to the adopted son of another war bear family.

Only Nicole can hold the bear down. Even so, the Rose Manor had to win over Nelson through marriage. It can be seen how powerful the War Bear mercenaries are in Randall.

Victor smiled and asked, "What are your plans next?" ”

"The mercury is expanding too fast, and the background of the inner line members is complicated, and everyone has it, so it is especially easy to be infiltrated by other forces. I'm going to stay in Randall's territory and train some loyal family agents for your lords to replace the unreliable mercury insiders. Barol replied respectfully.

It is not only mercury that is expanding, but the entire Randall family is expanding, and it is expanding to the point that the foundation of the family is unstable.

The huge difference in life levels determines that the transcendent lords of the other world rule differently from the kings of the earth. The servants of the Lord of Radiance have erected the ideology of all classes of the human race, and the knight lords have never worried that mortal vassals will rebel.

Only the same level of power needs to be balanced and restrained, and as the most powerful transcendent of the Randall family, no one can shake the foundation of Victor's rule.

However, the people below will hoodwink the deacons, the deacons will fool the steward, the stewards will hood the Nelson siblings, and Nelson and Lilia will hood Victor.

A lie is covered up with a bigger lie, and a mistake leads to a cascade of mistakes that ultimately lead to catastrophic consequences. If the Randall family pays a heavy price for Victor's hoodwinnings, Lilia and Nelson will not escape punishment.

This is called covering the sky with one hand.

This is called unstable foundation.

Eggs cannot be placed in one basket, and the lord needs to hear different sounds. Victor trains trainee knights to act as commanders of the rangers, and is sharing eggs. Balor's return to the realm and training the family's secret spies is to add eyes and ears to the lord.

Victor exclaimed with relief: "Balor, you can keep a cool head and not be blinded by the achievements and power of mercury...... Very good!"

"If you refuse to come back, I will call you back. With a population of over 100,000 under his family's rule, Randall now needs mercury even more. Victor crossed his fingers, leaned back in his chair, and said, "I have established a secret manor in the Lark Mountains on the western side of the territory. The family used the money to adopt more than 80 children between the ages of 3 and 6, all of whom lived there, and 34 of them were reshaped by the paladins. I'm going to hand over that secret camp to you as a training camp for mercury agents. ”

Barol was overjoyed, and he bowed with a red face, "I will live up to the trust of my lord." ”

Victor waved his hand and shook his head regretfully, "It's a pity you're old...... At this time, accepting the body reshaping of the paladin will hurt oneself. I have specially prepared a golden sunflower potion for you, you can take one every year, and you can live at least 7 or 8 years longer. ”

"Thank you, sir. ”

"By the way, the main ingredient of the golden sunflower potion is sunflower root. In addition to slowing down aging, it also makes you feel energetic. Victor looked Balor up and down, and teased, "You old bachelor should also marry and have children...... You might as well tell me, what kind of women are you looking for? How many are you looking for?"

Balor was stunned and asked cautiously, "My lord, have you heard of it?"

"What did you hear?" Victor looked at the old agent with a smirk, until he was embarrassed, and then suddenly realized: "Oh, I remember...... You gave my elite guards some kind of 'special' potion so that the tavern hostesses could make their money...... According to Barrryt, the results are not bad?"

"The elite guards are not close to women, they are too dazzling...... I'm also trying to cover up ...... Purely for cover-up. Balor said with a dry laugh.

"No need to explain. Victor leaned forward and asked narrowly, "I'm just wondering, how do you know this potion formula......?" Do you use it often?"

Barol admits frankly, "I do use that potion a lotion, and all of my old fellows use it...... In fact, we, like your elite guards, are infertile. ”

The smile on Victor's face disappeared suddenly, his eyes became deep and cold, and he slowly shook his head and said, "Balor, you don't need to go around the bend with me. I ask you to be blunt with me. ”

"Yes. Balor raised his head and said, "My lord, I told you that I am a secret agent cultivated by the Kartolin family. The family's history dates back to the early days of the Randan Empire, and they were always court nobles of the royal family of Neovest. About 43 years ago, Kartolin joined two other court nobles to rebel against the royal family of Neovest and defect to the Kingdom of Gambis. Eventually, the Eastern Province War was triggered. ”

Victor nodded, and said, "Ryan was killed in battle, and the three counts were executed by Emperor Neowest on charges of betrayal. The House of York moved westward, and Gambis ceded the Eastern Three Provinces to the Rand Empire. ”

Barol paused and continued: "Regardless of the outcome of the Kartolin family, they are after all the court nobles of the early Rand Empire, and they have many secret secrets that no one knows. Including, the arcane warrior's training secrets. ”

Victor listened quietly and did not say anything. "For as long as I can remember," says Balor, "I have been training with many of my companions in the secret castle of the House of Cartoline. A month before we left the Secret Castle, the instructor asked us to take a bottle of potion each, record a recipe, and took us to the tavern...... The hostess turned me into a man when I was 17 years old. ”

"The agents of the Kartolin family are all the same, they don't take potions, they are very weak, they take potions, and they don't have the ability to have children. Barol showed a look of remembrance and said, "The old spy who took me on the mission claimed that the potion was to hide our identities, and the reason for not approaching women was to better complete the mission. But as my experience grew, I had a different perspective. ”

"The family spy is the ears and eyes of the lord, and he must truthfully report what he sees and hears. Men and women will inevitably influence each other, infiltrate each other, form a relationship of interests, and thus affect the position of secret agents. ”

"Family agents shouldn't be infertile. ”

Victor pondered for a moment, then said, "It does make sense. Like a monkey, his vigilantes are always associated with a messy relationship with a share-based family. The same thing has multiple sayings in the mouths of different people. The monkey only listened to the vigilantes and could not do anything. Therefore, at the same time, he pulled the 'white neck' to do things for the security station...... Hehe, everyone laughs at monkeys for being 'dung'. ”

Balor shook his head and said, "Master, the vigilante and mercenaries are your minions, and the police and mercury are your eyes and ears. The monkey is no longer a man of mercury, and I will never go to see him, nor can he come to me. ”

"I like people who are measured...... Continuing with the previous topic. Victor smiled and nodded.

Barol cleared his throat and said, "It wasn't until I worked with the Elite Guardians that I realized that the Kartolin family might have used us as arcane warriors first. But we were eliminated, and we could only be trained as family agents. ”
