Both Lance and Veronica gasped. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info but Loxani on the side was confused, not knowing what kind of dumb riddle they were playing: "Hey, can any of you explain it to me!"

Lance had no choice but to explain, "Ronnie, can you rank the heir of the Marquis of Compret based on the previous information?"

"Yes!" Roxani began to crack her paws, counting:

"The Marquis of the Marquis of Comprete is Ed's mother, and the first heir is naturally Ed. Second in line, I think about it, I said earlier that there are only three people left in the Nortonson family, and my grandfather and uncle are dead. Then the second priority can only be inherited by Ed's father. The third in line should be a relative of Ed's father. ”

"That's right. ”

Lance nodded and explained heavily, "So, if it's just the divorce of Ed's mother and the abolition of Ed's inheritance, then Ed and her mother are still the marquis of the Marquis of Compret." In this way, the Marquis of Comprete would naturally become independent from the Duke of Zete. For the Duke of Zeit, the annexation plan would have been ruined. But what if Ed and her mother die in some orchestrated accident?"

It suddenly dawned on Loxani: "If Ed and his mother die, the father of Ed, who is the second in line to the throne, will inherit the Marquis of Compret, so that the Marquis of Compret will not be independent!"

But Loxani didn't believe her ears, and she pointed at Ed excitedly and said, "But, but Ed is his son!

A tear slipped from the corner of Ed's eye, and he looked at the bright moon in the sky, with despair, and said with a smile:

"That's right, that's what my father planned. From the beginning, he didn't like my mother at all. He only loved that mistress. He acted in such a play solely for the sake of gaining territory. And when my mother was the only one left in the Nortonson family, his plot was finally about to succeed. He was going to kill my mother and me, inherit the land that my mother's family had inherited for generations, and marry that mistress. ”

Lance also patted Ed on the shoulder sympathetically and said, "Friend, you have to be strong." Though your father was a beast. But you still have a mother. Unlike me, even my parents can't remember who it is. ”

Ed looked at Lance in surprise and said, "Brother Lance, what happened to you?"

"Alas, I'm in amnesia now, and I've forgotten all my background. ”

Ed's arm also put his arm on Lance's shoulder, patted him and said, "Brother Lance, it's okay, I believe that a good person like you will definitely be able to retrieve your memory." And the father and mother must also be very good people. ”

"Lend you good words. But then, seeing that you're standing here, your father's plan has failed?"

Ed nodded and said:

"That's right, one of my father's chief guards knew of my father's plan to assassinate my mother and me. So I told my mother. But my mother didn't believe it at the time. But it's lucky. Once, she didn't eat my mother's dinner. I gave my mother a dog. As a result, the dog was poisoned. My mother only knew it was true. So he wanted to secretly take me back to the Marquis of Compret. But the plan was revealed, and my father finally tore his face and sent troops to hunt me and my mother to death. My mother fled for her life, but all the way to the Marquis of Compret was blocked. We fled to the county of Leibniz next door. Later, I heard that my father had in turn framed us mother and son for assassinating him. We saw that we could no longer go back to our homeland, so we had to cross the Vignian Pass. He took refuge in Idiris. ”

Loxani was furious at this time: "It's so hateful! There is such a father, we should kill him." ”

Ed suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Roxani, my father is dead. ”

Lance asked suspiciously, "How did you die?"

"He was also killed by robbers. But one of my mother's old subordinates told me that it was actually the mistress who killed my father. After he married my father, he gave birth to a son. Then he killed my father, and then the Duke of Zete became the mistress's son. And now, fortunately, everyone has been fighting for so long, and in the end the whole Duchy of Zet has fallen into the hands of the Earl of Tyre and his daughter, who are sitting on the fisherman's profits. It's also a kind of creation. ”

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind!" Lance sighed, "I said how a woman who is the daughter of an earl would be willing to be an underground mistress." It turned out to be premeditated. He thought about helping his father, the Duke of Tyre, take away the Duke of Zeit. The human heart is really terrible. ”

"That's what I hate most about political battles. Especially those innocent victims, completely unworthy. Veronica said solemnly: "This kind of senseless infighting will only make humanity weaker." In the face of demons and elves, it is even more impossible to unite and protect the homeland. But Ed, haven't you thought about going back and reclaiming your territory? ”

Ed laughed and said, "Since the outbreak of the civil war in the Kingdom of Normanland, that mistress has brutally purged those who were loyal to my mother or opposed her and his son. I'll go back now, just jump into the fire pit. I just want to take care of my mother first, then settle down and be a commoner. ”

As they spoke, they had reached a by the harbor. It's on the edge of the city of Idris. A cold wind blew down the surface of the lake, ruffling Lance's hair and the corners of his clothes.

Lance quickly untied his cloak and put it on Veronica, who was shivering from the cold. And Roxani also hid in Lance's backpack to ward off the cold wind.

They walked slowly down a somewhat broken stone staircase. When we got to the entrance of the tall sewer, it was an arched entrance with a width of more than ten meters.

Ed said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Brother Lance, Miss Veronica, for letting you come to a place like this. ”

Lance rubbed his hands together and said with a smile, "I'm fine, it's better here than outside, at least it can keep out the damn cold wind." ”

Veronica also smiled and said, "I'm fine, I often go to the slums to see patients." However, since you are called Brother Lance, you should also call me Miss. Just call me Veronica. ”

"Understood, Brother Narans, Sister Veronica, I'll take you inside. ”

Led by Ed, they descend into this slum tucked away in the city's grand sewer system.

Within a few steps, a pungent foul smell wafted over. Lance and Veronica quickly covered their mouths and noses. However, Ed in front of him seemed to have already adapted to the smell and did not react to the stench that made him want to vomit.

Gradually, Lance saw improvised tents set up on both sides of the sewers. But it's a tent, it's just a few sticks and rags put together. I'm afraid that the purpose is not to prevent the wind, but just to make a partition, so that I can have a little private space. However, some poor people simply spread their old blankets on the ground and went to sleep.

When he saw Lance and Veronica, two cleanly dressed people, come in. Many poor people looked up at these two uninvited guests. There was a curious calmness on their faces. It's as if they just want to see what's going on, but they don't care who they are.

All Lance read from their faces was despair and weariness of life. There's not a hint of life in the atmosphere. Some are just barely as good as ants.

After walking for a while, Ed led the two to a rag tent: "Here we are. ”
