In the past few months, the Black Earth Continent has been absolutely calm, there is no ghost corpse war, and there is no battle between the powerful. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info Maybe many nobles understand that this should be the calm before the storm, but they also enjoy this calm very much, it has not been like this for a long time, and they don't feel the smell of war at all when they go out.

Everyone is taking advantage of this peaceful time to develop their territory, if nothing else, at least to have a full meal.

If there is no peace, there is only Oss. He also has a reason, the pirates frequently oppose him, which makes him more annoyed, but now that he has just cultivated for a while, if he really fights with pirates, it will be in vain.

The second point, of course, was Finn, who had almost forgotten about his son, but who kept him awake every time he thought about it. The longer the time was delayed, the more panicked he became, Vincent was still alive, but he could ignore Finn, so he must have been staring at him.

And the third thing is that Sheep Castle still goes his own way, and never pays attention to any of his orders. This made him lose face in front of the other nobles.

For this purpose, he specially called the cook to the hall. "You tell me how to solve these three problems, these three problems will only make me constantly lose my prestige." ”

"Hehe, my lord, some of the troubles you added to yourself are something you have added to yourself. For example, Sheep Castle, didn't they do the same before? Why do the adults have to ask them to be obedient, the big deal is still the same as before, don't you just don't ask, and don't let other people trade with them, as long as the adults speak, how can the nobles of other territories contact them? If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, then Byron is also a not simple character, but he is already old, and when he dies, everything will naturally be solved. ”

"Let's put the Sheep Castle aside for the time being, but what about the pirates and Finn?"

"My lord, the current situation in the south is clear to everyone, even if Vincent is really alive. The most likely place to hide is the Western Regions, but if there is really the support of the Morton family behind him, how can he hide for so long and so deeply? As long as the adults develop with peace of mind, they will only make themselves stronger. Don't worry about anything else. As for the pirates, hehe... Lord can trade with Lord Evan, and he will make an agreement before the trip. There is no cargo to plunder, and they will starve to death. ”

These are all good solutions, but because of Oss's personality, it feels difficult to do them. Fortunately, after going through so much, Oss is also willing to sacrifice for the sake of the overall situation.

But Huairou is really not his style of doing things, although he agrees with these ideas. However, after the cook left, he called his general and ordered, "Let a team disguise themselves as mercenaries and go to the sheep castle, and you will lead a team to follow." ”

The general understood what Oss meant, "Yes!"

"Also... let the orcs go to the territory of the sheep castle and destroy everything there, food, livestock, people. ”

The general glanced at Os, "Yes." ”

......

That night, the mercenaries broke into the village of Sheepburg and caused trouble in the village in the name of hunting down the traitors. Later, on the way back, they met the army of Sheep Castle, and the two sides fought. As a result, the troops of Black Sparrow City appeared nearby, and they nominally sent this army to capture the traitors, so they naturally helped the army that attacked Sheep Fort together. And they chased for a long distance, until Tony of Sheep Castle came to support with a large army, and the two sides reached a stalemate.

As a result, in the north of Sheep Castle, a group of orcs destroyed all the farmland, livestock, and people there overnight, and even set fire to the houses there, causing heavy losses to the territory of Sheep Castle.

The next day, Tony angrily stormed the hall and said, "Father, Calus has gone too far, we should get justice for them." ”

"How can we get it back? Take the army of Sheep Castle against the aristocratic army of the entire Eastern Territory, this will only make our losses worse. You should learn to stay calm enough when it matters. ”

"Do you want to watch our hard work trampled on by them?"

"I'll go to Chateau and settle this matter. Since Oss is playing with fire, he will definitely set himself on fire. ”

......

Oss was not surprised by the silence of Sheep Castle, and it would be foolish to dare to resist. He was very satisfied with this operation, he was for everyone to see, offended him and did not end well. At least it will allow him to regain some face. He was even happier when he learned that Byron had set off for Chado, and he was ready to kill two birds with one stone.

So a carrier pigeon was passed into Felix's hands for a simple purpose. Let Darren kill Merlin and frame Byron.

Felix and Merlin had been in contact with each other quite a few times, and Felix thought that he had learned a lot from the old man of the Brook family, and he was surprised to see this letter.

"Uncle, do we really want it?"

"It's not wise in the long run, but I can feel that the ghosts will definitely make a big move next. And your father's doing so will only make Black Sparrow City more famous, and it's a good choice for dealing with the ghost wars. At the very least, he can lead a stable eastern army very well. ”

"But if the king had known about it, he would have dealt with my father. ”

"Since you want to do it, you have to do it without leaks, this is the first one. Second, even if the king knew about it and was very dissatisfied, he would have no evidence, and then the year would be over. Felix, you are a good boy, and you may be a little unbearable for you to deal with an old man, but this is a battle between nobles, and your father did it for the Calus family. ”

"I will do what he wants, and if I need to do something, I will do it. ”

"Hehe, I don't need you to do anything, I have someone in Xia Duo who can help. ”

......

Byron did not come to Chado directly to see the king, and like all nobles, the king would not treat him well. He needed someone who had a voice, and he needed the king to keep Oss wrong.

At Lionel's house, he was also a little surprised to see Byron, but he still received Byron very politely. After listening to Byron's request, Lionel said, "I think you should go to my uncle and not me?"

"Sheep Castle doesn't have that much money to pay your uncle. I've been to the Kara Mountains, I've heard about your relationship with Lin Yu, and I've heard about your help to Barron Evan here. And, for the sake of Sheep Castle, I can only come to you. ”

Lionel took a sip of his wine, looked up and said, "You mean, let me help you for free?"

"Sheep Fort has nothing left. ”

"I can introduce you to someone, Your Highness Bowen. I think he will do justice for you. ”

Naturally, Byron had heard of some of Bowen's deeds for so long, and he was already very satisfied with Lionel's willingness to introduce him, "Thank you very much, and I would like to express my gratitude to Lord Morton on behalf of all the people of Sheep Castle. ”

......

Byron stayed in Chado, and without a satisfactory way of dealing with it, he naturally would not leave. On this day, however, Eddard's retinue came to his lodgings and told him that Merlin wanted to meet him.

Byron was willing, and he knew very well that Ed was very unhappy with Oss.

The two met at an uninhabited beach in the back garden, and both talked for a long time.

Later, the two naturally left, but, not long after leaving, Byron heard the movement, rushed over, and found Merlin dead in a pool of blood, and the handle of the dagger that killed Merlin still had a sheep's pattern, which was the dagger he brought.

Byron instantly understood that he had been framed, and soon, the Blackscales patrolling nearby also rushed over.

In the palace, the king and his ministers were there, as were the bodies of Byron and Merlin, and the Black Scales recounted what had happened. Ian said, "Byron, now that the evidence is conclusive, do you have anything to defend?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't kill Master Merlin, and I have no reason to kill him. ”

"Huh. Ian sneered, "You have a reason to kill him." You want Merlin to help me deal with Oss. As a result, Merlin didn't help, and you got angry, so you killed him. ”

"I didn't. Byron said.

"You know, Leo told me these words. And, while my queen was looking for him, she saw you with Merlin, and there was an argument. After Ian finished speaking, his new queen appeared, took Leo with her, and recounted what had happened.

"Merlin is a sinner, but he is my man now, and you killed him when you came to Shado. Byron, you are so bold that for this crime alone, I can sentence you to death, and everyone is willing to see you pay for it. ”

At this time, Bowen returned, and with a hurried expression, he walked to the palace and said, "Father, the retainers can prove that Master Merlin was not killed by Lord Leo. ”

"You, you have proof?" Ian was surprised that his son would suddenly appear to speak for Byron.

"After Master Leo and Master Merlin finished talking, I met Master Leo, and after a few words, I heard Master Merlin's voice, and Master Leo did not let me go for fear of danger. And at that time, Leo-sama was not wearing any weapons. ”

With these words, Ian immediately changed his attitude, and at this time, he looked back at his new queen.

The new queen was not stupid, and said calmly, "Your Majesty, I did see the two of them having an argument before, but then I also said that I left with Leo. ”

"It seems that this matter is really not simple, I will investigate it carefully. If someone is behind it, I will never spare it. ”

......

Leaving the palace, Byron was surprised, "Prince Bowen, why would you..."

"Help you lie? No, it's Lionel who is helping you. It's just that it's inconvenient for him to come forward. And you are indeed not a murderer, the person behind the scenes is very despicable, and he actually assassinated the old man for his own interests and framed you. Whatever it was, I felt like I should have lied. Who does Leo think the murderer is?"

"I can't think of a second person other than Calus. He had always been haunted by Merlin's capture of Xia Duo. He's dangerous. ”

"If it's him, it's very dangerous. I'll discuss this with my father, so don't worry, Lord Leo. ”

Leo looked at Bowen, who was about the same size as him, and praised, "You must be a great king in the future." (To be continued.) )
