Chapter 074: Undercurrents are surging
In a small town, Merlin and Felix have just come out of a house on horseback. This is www.biquge.info town in the Oriental Territory, and they searched for a long time to find this town, where one of the Oriental pharmacists lived.
What I didn't expect was that this pharmacist died twenty-two years ago, unexpectedly outside.
"I think it's a little weird. After leaving the town, Merlin analyzed.
"You mean twenty-two years of death, and Finn is twenty-two?" Felix looked at Merlin as he rode slowly.
"Did your father mention this to you when he died unexpectedly just after giving Fein an evaluation?"
"My father had no reason to kill them, and everyone wanted to prove Finn's innocence. And they did, and my father rewarded them well. ”
"Then we still have to go to the Middle Earth Realm, and I hope this time it will go well. ”
"I remember these people were found by Uncle Darren, if you want to know the address, I can ask?"
"Then your father will know about it, and perhaps put Finn in danger. I checked a lot of information, and I have a general idea of where these people live, as long as they don't be like him, who has been dead for 22 years and moved so many times. ”
Suddenly, Felix grabbed the reins and asked, "What should I do if Finn is really from the Brooke family?"
Merlin was surprised that Felix asked him this, but he was more worried that Felix was not a good man.
"Since you said what if, what do you think? Tell your father, kill him, or let him go. ”
Felix frowned and took a deep breath, "I don't know, I hope this doesn't come true if it doesn't happen." ”
Arriving at the fishing village, Felix wondered, "We seem to be getting closer and closer to Black Sparrow?"
"That's right, we don't have time to go to Middle-earth to look for it, we need some help. These people know you, so you'd better not go in, just stay here, and I'll be back in a moment." Merlin dismounted and walked into the fishing village of Barron.
These former warriors have become ordinary fishermen, and Merlin greeted them eagerly. Merlin smiled and replied all the way to Barron's house, then knocked on the door.
"Master Merlin, why are you here?" a girl opened the door, surprised to look at Merlin standing in the doorway.
"Doris, you're getting prettier, can I go in?"
......
The King's Council, flanked by the ministers of the kingdom. Normally, the council is presided over by the prime minister, but today because the prime minister and the high priest are on business, the king has also come.
"Oss has an answer?" Ian asked with a grimace.
"Yes, he is willing to keep to himself, obey the king's will, not disobey the king's commands, and do not do anything wrong. ”
Ian's face improved a little after hearing this, "I need to see his sincerity, unless he drives the orcs out of the East." ”
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the orcs have promised the High Priest that they will join other races in the war against the ghosts in the future, as the High Priest can prove. ”
The king looked at Harris with some surprise.
"That's right, I approached them during the last ghost attack, and I think they should help. ”
"Harris, you've always moved faster than I thought, hahaha. So when are they going to send troops?"
"They are waiting for the Treants, and Your Majesty knows that the Treants are stubborn, and I will convince them as soon as possible. ”
"Hmph, if they don't agree, they will let go of the burning of the Black Forest, and we can win without the Treants. ”
"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that requires your consent. In the future, our battle with the ghosts will not stop, and I hope that Your Majesty can continue to work with the dwarves to forge light and convenient armor that will increase the combat effectiveness of the warriors. ”
Ian frowned, "The war has depleted the treasury so badly that we don't have that much money to pay them. ”
"We don't need much money, we can provide steel materials. As long as you send someone who is willing to sign a contract agreement with them. ”
"How much do you need?" Ian asked, looking a little unhappy.
"It works, it doesn't work, all of it. ”
"What, why so much?"
"Regain the trust of other families. Harris said seriously.
Ian thought for a moment and said, "But it's still going to cost a lot of money. He looked back at the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Willie Moulton, "How much money do we have?"
Willie glanced at everyone, "Well, I'm afraid it's not enough to pay for such a huge expense." The gold, silver, and copper mines south of the mountains have basically dried up, and almost all the gold coins have been given to the dragons, and with the cost of the army, there is not much left. ”
Harris turned his head and said, "Then let all the families provide a third of the cost of it, and they can get the armor and weapons crafted by the dwarves, and whoever is willing to pay can buy the titles of barons and viscounts." ”
"Harris, no one's knighthood was bought, and that would make me a joke?" Ian immediately disagreed.
Harris looked at the king again, "When you fight off the ghosts, you will only become the greatest king." ”
Ian added, "But, but I don't have a fief for them. ”
"The fiefdom of the north, except for some big families in the north, is now borderless. We need money, and they have it in their hands. ”
......
Late at night, Barron, who had been talking to Darren late, was on his way home when a royal guard came running over and whispered something in Darren's ear.
Darren glanced at him, asked him to lead the way, and followed him alone to the castle.
"I saw with my own eyes that the queen had entered the winery again. Approaching the moment, the guard said.
"Does she come often?"
"During the day, I often come in the afternoon, and rarely in the evening, and usually I come here alone to relieve my boredom when I may have an unpleasant encounter with the kingdom, and I heard from the maid that there is a bed in the winery, and the queen sometimes rests here. ”
When they came to the door, there were six royal guards scattered here, all of them following the queen's guards.
"The queen is resting in there?" asked Barron.
"Yes, sir. One of the guards replied.
Then he went over and was about to knock on the door, but the guard said, "My lord, the queen said that she did not want to be disturbed by anyone. ”
"I'm looking for the queen. ”
"My lord, no offense, you look for the queen now, if the king knows, I'm afraid it will..."
"That's my business. After saying that, he raised his hand and knocked on the door. "Queen, I am the captain of the Imperial Guard, Barron. ”
When no one responded at first, Barron knocked on the door again, and a faint voice could be heard inside, "It's not time to meet." ”
Barron thought for a moment, plucked up his courage, and said, "The king is looking for you!"
Then there was no sound inside, and a sentence came from the middle of the day, "You leave first, and I'll go in a while." ”
Barron wasn't knocking, he just stood in the doorway and waited, and after a long wait, the door finally opened. Barron saw Queen Eliza walking out in her long purple dress and long hair, followed by a maid.
She took two steps, suddenly stopped, only to find that Barron was still here, showing a habitual smile, "Lord Barron is not there yet, I am very strange, the king has drunk a lot of wine tonight, how can he wake up?"
"No offense, can you take a step to speak?"
The queen looked around, followed Barron to a farther place, and then looked at Barron with interest.
Barron is not a seasoned love veteran, but he is an experienced warrior, and a good warrior must have keen observation skills, and he saw that Eliza's clothes were not neatly dressed, and it was obvious that Eliza was dressed in such a hurry, and it took so long for such a long time, not to mention that it was enough to dress up well. Second, when Eliza had just come out, he heard Eliza's fast-paced heartbeat.
"Someone has set their sights on you, I am a warrior, a warrior loyal to the king, loyal to the royal family. ”
Eliza's gaze lowered for a moment and then she raised it, and said as if she didn't understand, "I don't understand, do I have any problems? Now that Lord Barron is finally king, I want to know who is eyeing me, and why?"
"You are the queen, you should be able to guess it, excuse me, take your leave. With that, Barron left.
Eliza took a deep breath as she looked at the background where Barron had left, then she came to the door of the wine room, pushed the door open again, and walked in.
