Trunk looked at Duke Tony, whose expression became a little serious, Trunk was indeed a little surprised and surprised. To be honest, the duke of an empire represents that His Majesty the Emperor invites someone to serve the empire, and this kind of honor is not something that anyone can obtain. It was an empire, an empire that contained the entire Land of Chaos, and the scope of a province was beyond what had previously seemed like a place of chaos in his eyes.

Trunk looked at Duke Tony's encouraging eyes, and finally shook his head and said, "My father has a dream, until now, my father's dream has not been realized, I have vowed since I was a child, I want to follow my father's figure and accompany him to complete this dream, so, I'm sorry, Duke Tony, I can't accept your invitation."

Duke Tony smiled, as if he had known that Trunk would answer like this, "If there is a father, there must be a son, I guess you will react this way, but it doesn't matter, whether you follow in your father's footsteps in the future or not, it doesn't affect the Empire's invitation to you." ”

"Back then, your father had received the baron's knighthood ceremony in the empire, for Your Majesty, your father and son are the treasures of the empire, Your Majesty was able to let your father leave, I believe that if you want to leave one day, Your Majesty will not stop it, Your Majesty only needs the heart of your father and son to the Empire, Your Majesty does not want you to be recruited by other forces, and my arrival today is just to send you the goodwill of the Empire. When you graduate from the Academy, the Empire can grant you a title of nobility whenever you wish. ”

Looking at the dignified duke in front of him with an enthusiastic face, Trunk had to admit that he was convinced.

He promised Duke Tony that within twenty years, as long as the empire treats him sincerely, then he will never do anything unfavorable to the empire, and if he can, he can also contribute to His Majesty.

Duke Tony was very happy when he heard Trunk's reply, although Trunk's real strength at this time was not very strong, but he may be just like Aya back then, the military talent that has not yet shown the world is still deeply hidden under the mud and sand.

Duke Tony continued, "Your Majesty has always had a little regret and guilt in your father's heart, regret because he couldn't keep your father at that time, and guilt because he couldn't protect your father in his own empire. “

Duke Tony, waving at Stephen and motioning for him to go out, Stephen left the room full of doubts, he was curious about what the Duke would say to the boy next, so much so that he needed to avoid it.

Duke Tony looked into Trunk's eyes and said very seriously: " This is a secret of the empire, the entire empire may only be known by His Majesty and the three major dukes from their respective family histories, should not have told you, but because you and your father are involved in this matter, twenty years ago, when your father asked His Majesty to resign, His Majesty did not tell your father this secret because of the hesitation of the year, if you told your father back then, then maybe your father's fate will be completely changed, which also makes Your Majesty regret it for so many years"

"So this time, when Your Majesty came here, he specially told me, let me tell you this imperial secret, Your Majesty really doesn't want to lose another talent, of course, no matter if you know the cause and effect of the matter, whether you will continue to complete your dream with your father, Your Majesty will not stop you, Your Majesty may just ask for a peace of mind."

"The land of chaos existed long before the founding of the empire, when the empire's Bligh I Ken the Great, conquered the Quartet, for this standing in the west of the empire, the world isolated by the magic cover is very curious, Ken the Great is majestic, naturally will not allow such an unknown place to exist in the empire safely, at first did not act rashly, until the year before the establishment of the empire by the Emperor Ken, the empire at that time was really rich and secure, and the soldiers were strong. The domineering Emperor Ken sent a million lions of the empire, with my ancestor Nicolas Cage as the generalissimo, to raise troops to the west to conquer the land of chaos, because the sealing circle of the land of chaos can isolate all warriors who have cultivated below the holy rank from entering and exiting, so at that time, among the million lions army of my ancestors, there were thousands of magicians above the holy rank of the army, and the empire wanted to destroy this magic circle as quickly as possible."

"Everything is fine on the front line, my ancestors are methodically directing the magicians scattered around the chaotic lands, preparing to destroy this sealing circle in one fell swoop."

However, tens of thousands of kilometers away in the imperial capital, in the palace of Emperor Bligh Ken, a visitor from the Muse family suddenly appeared, and the domineering Ken the Great made one of the few compromises in his life, completely giving up the invasion of the land of chaos. ”

"Emperor Ken's explanation for this is that it is an invincible force, and it is a top force that truly stands on top of this world. The empire, which is only standing on the Caesar Continent, cannot resist at all, fortunately, their purpose is not to become an empire, otherwise, it is believed that none of the seven empires of the Caesar Continent can exist intact. After that, Emperor Ken also left a secret decree to the heirs of the throne, and he asked the successors behind him to try not to conflict with this mysterious family, and the secret decree was jointly kept by our three dukes. ”

Duke Tony cleared his voice and calmed down the fear in his heart, "Maybe what completely made Emperor Ken give up resistance completely is because although the Muse family came to the imperial capital with overwhelming power, they did not completely rely on force to pressure Emperor Ken, but also gave enough benefits in exchange for the ownership of the Land of Chaos. ”

Duke Tony sighed and said, "Trunk, do you know? At that time, Emperor Ken was faced with two choices, either to rise up and die with the people sent by the Muses, and then the Bligh Empire was waiting to be invaded by other empires and destroy the country. The second option is to accept the benefits of the Muse's exchange, and then the two can still live in peace with each other. ”

"Your Majesty and I both know that Aya's dream is to give the people of the Chaos Land a stable life, but it is too difficult for this dream to have an unfathomable Muse family in front of it."

Trunk was really a little moved, he didn't care what the Emperor and Duke Tony really thought when they told him these secrets, and if they could tell them to themselves, it would be a huge help to themselves.

I had always wondered why such a powerful Bligh Empire could tolerate such a large vacuum within the empire, and it turned out that the reason for all this was based on the deterrence of the powerful force of the Muse family.

Even such a powerful empire had to be forced to make a deal with them, so now I don't even have the ability to compete, it seems that the Muse family back then was not incapable of eliminating his father, it must be for some reason that the Muse family did not complete this task.

But no matter what, no matter how powerful the Muse family is, as long as it is his father's dream, then he will definitely fulfill it.

Strength! It looks like I still have a long, long way to go!

Time passed quickly in the conversation between Duke Tony and Trunk, Duke Tony looked at the magic clock hanging on the wall and the faint darkness of the sky, stood up, and said, "Let's go, let's go to tonight's cocktail party together, as the host of tonight's banquet, I have to arrive first, you can come with me, tonight you just need to relax yourself, taste the food and wine of the division." “

Trunk nodded, stood up, and released the silly skeletons and Tanatos back into the undead realm.

In the banquet hall of the Golden Lai Hotel, two rows of beautiful maids stood inside and outside the wide gate, quietly waiting to welcome the arrival of the VIPs.

Duke Tony and his entourage were the first to come to the banquet hall, the appearance of the handsome Trunk immediately attracted the attention of the maids, the image of Duke Tony has long been familiar to them, Lord Stephen also came to the banquet hall in the morning to check the environment, the two of them are known to them, but this young man who can walk side by side with the duke, they have not seen it, they guess that it may be the duke's nephew.

Duke Tony was very satisfied with the maid's gaze, he himself didn't know how, from the moment he saw Trunk, a young man who didn't speak much, he was full of good feelings, modest attitude, handsome appearance, he liked it too much.

The maids behaved like this, but he was very happy, as if his own son was liked by many beautiful women.

After entering the hall, Duke Tony said happily to Trunk, "Trunk, you are walking around the hall, I will go upstairs to sit in the study for a while, after all, my identity is a duke, representing the empire, and I can't come out too early to welcome the guests attending the banquet." ”

Trunk, nodded, and said, "Uncle, please be busy, Trunk can handle it himself"

Duke Tony patted Trunk on the shoulder, and then said to Stephen, "You are down here to greet the guests on my behalf, and take care of Trunk by the way, and you can't be neglected in the slightest." ”

Stephen hurriedly said, "Lord Duke, please rest assured, the villain will take care of Trunk."

Without delay, Duke Tony led a few guards up the steps on either side of the hall and into one of the studys.

Trunk looked at Stephen and said, "Mr. Stephen, I'll just walk around by myself, if you have something to do, please go and get busy!"

Stephen nodded and smiled, "Well, you go around by yourself, taste more of the food cooked by the chefs of the Empire, and if there is anything to do, please call." ”

After separating from Stephen, Trunk looked at the spacious banquet hall in front of him, with hundreds of long and wide square tables, arranged around the hall, all the square tables were wrapped in white cloth, and countless wines and delicacies were placed on the white cloth, and hundreds of waiters were still serving plates of food from the concierge of the food.

Although Trunk had never attended a drinking banquet before, nor had he held any drinking banquets before, but he had followed the shadows out to trials so many times, but he had seen too many such banquets, although the chaotic land was dark, but there was no shortage of lascivious and extravagant lords, of course, that kind of banquet was a bit unsightly compared to the formal banquets held by this kind of empire.

There was a large space in the center of the hall, which he knew was for the guests to dance.

On the floors around the hall, there were still a lot of motionless guards, these were guards to protect the VIPs, Trunk was sure, maybe there must be a lot of more powerful guards in the rooms upstairs, after all, the people who came to this banquet were all nobles ranked among the major powers.
