"Oh! I see! ”

Birch's eyes widened, she had experienced a lot of journeys, and she somewhat understood what Ian was going to say, and Frostbutterfly also nodded frequently, but she didn't know if she understood: "I see!" ”

"Yes."

Ian lowered his voice again, causing the wind essentia fluctuations on his side to move slightly closer: "Although Ethan himself is a good child, his mother is not necessarily ...... The actions of the Flying Flame Land organization this time are obviously strange, and they may have been induced by someone or some kind of news, in order to 'brush up on merit' for me. ”

"The leyline source crystal, maybe not what I thought, is an ordinary treasure that contains confidential information...... It's a precious treasure, but it's not on the team of this train at all! Someone used fake news to trick Flying Flame into taking the bait, which can not only give me the credit, but also ensure that the treasure reaches the imperial capital smoothly, killing two birds with one stone. ”

"To be honest, it's not a bad thing to brush up on merit, if it weren't for the fact that there are so many undercover seniors here, I'm afraid I would have laughed at it...... But if it is really a merit that was brushed for me to force me, then it is estimated that all the credit for this incident will be pushed to me, what should those seniors who have been undercover for so long think? ”

"These people come from different important departments of the Empire, and I have offended them all, and there is no doubt that I can only rely on the big tree of the Eren family...... Haha, although it is a bit narcissistic, I guess that just like the Marquis of Barton, this is the action that the Ellen family wants to label me! ”

That's Ian's speculation, and it's not narcissistic, his inference is ninety-nine percent correct.

For, in addition to the Lady Ellen whom he spoke, there was another person who was also interested in him. And that person's rights are probably far greater than that of Mrs. Ellen.

Second Prince of the Sattar Empire and an ally of the Marquis of Batun, Mikael Sattar.

Unsurprisingly, he was the one who really arranged it all...... is also the person who really wants to accept Ian under his command and label Ian.

"And Ian, what are you going to do?"

Miss Fairy nodded slightly, she obviously thought this matter was very interesting, and asked from the bottom of her heart: "The cake cream is mixed with mustard, and it's too late to eat it - you are now involved in this incident, so you can only be sorry for those undercover seniors." ”

"What's more, it doesn't have to be all the credit to you."

"You can't think of it that way. This is also an assessment. Although it may be the after-effects of the Marquis of Batun to me, I must think so. ”

Ian shook his head and replied to Birch's question: "After the incident really happened, there was no turnaround, not to mention that Ellen's royal mother...... Or is it someone else who just wants to see how I can solve this problem? ”

"With this habit of the big men in the imperial capital, there must be several sets of plans for everything. We can't follow their hooks, especially young people like me, who are still very weak, if everything is as they expected, but it seems vulgar, and only by surprising them can we make a better impression...... Isn't it? ”

"As for what to do......

Ian looked at the broken car window on the side and nodded slightly: "Of course, it was on the grounds that 'I'm still on the Marquis's confidential mission', and I got out of the car alone." ”

"After all, my credit, at most, is the first shot against the Flying Flame Land, and in my own absence, with so many organizations involved, no one can easily put the credit for the entire incident on me."

"Let's go, I'll say goodbye to the Tress Knight later, and then we'll leave the train alone and head to the Imperial Capital...... It's close anyway. ”

With that, Ian gets up and goes to find the Tress Knight, and Miss Birch begins to pack her belongings with Frostbutterfly with a blank expression.

When the boy found the Tress Knight, the knight, who looked innocent and was a good old man in the town, showed just the right amount of surprise and asked Ian why he had come.

And Ian naturally pushed the boat down, saying that he was going to carry out the marquis's confidential mission and could not appear in the official report, and now that it had been exposed, he would have to get out of the car in advance and act alone.

It stands to reason that the current Tress should have said that he understood and sent him away.

But Ian found that the brown-haired knight's thoughts were quite complex and contradictory.

This can be seen in his performance and actions.

"I might be able to escort you there...... Well...... Do you know how to get there? The way to the imperial capital, and a pass? ”

He said something inverted, as if he was hesitating some rather important decision: "No, you're a knight, and of course you don't need a pass...... I mean, is it in time? I might be able to request a batch of mounts for you, in a town not far ahead. ”

He shouldn't have said that.

"Senpai."

So, the boy whispered, "You really heard me." ”

Tress was stunned for a moment, and then smiled softly: "Didn't you mean to let me hear it?" Cunning white-haired boy, I kind of know why General Batun values you too. ”

"It's true that credit is important, but what is more important is the value from above."

He shook his head slightly, and the young knight, who had been undercover for eight years, said in a voice that only Ian and himself could hear: "There is no background, no one cares, you have to be like me, you go undercover when you are a teenager, you will be a two-faced person all the way, you will be abducted, and your hands will be dirty...... It's the same with undercover agents, if there are no people on the Flying Flame Land, no matter how hard they work, they will be the deputy commander of a branch, not the boss. ”

"Yes, this merit and my strength can indeed make me a rookie of the Knights - I was still thinking just now, if you are willing to cooperate with me and say that you are a shadow arranged by the above, then the two of us will definitely be able to win the first credit over all the other departments if one provokes the fight against the Flying Flame Land, and the other captures the leader."

"But now that I think about it, if I provoke the dissatisfaction of the big guys, I guess I will be a rookie for the rest of my life. You know that, right? ”

Tress's voice was almost ethereal, and his tone was calm: "But you're right. It's also a test for you – so I'm not going to stop you...... Good luck juniors. ”

He raised his hand and tossed Ian something like a key: "Go ahead, this is the voucher for the Latchtand Town Station, there are two good horses in it, which were originally reserved for me in case I don't need them, but now I don't think they are needed." ”

"Follow the track, all the way to the north, is the imperial capital...... See you next time, it's in the imperial capital. ”

"Thank you, Mr. Tress." Ian took the voucher, and he smiled obediently, "I will remember your kindness!" ”

Tress froze for a moment, then laughed and scolded: "Let's go - damn it, I really understand why the Marquis of Batun is so optimistic about you......"

"Your face is really deceiving."
