Chapter 223: Crotch Knight (Asking for a Monthly Pass, Recommending a Ticket)
Rett met Hogus's gaze, shrugged and said, "I don't know which white hat you're talking about, the person who Ruilai met some time ago, just call him a white hat." ”
Hogus showed a sudden look on his face, and said with a smile: "Well, that's really fate......"
LETT sensed that something was wrong, and it seemed... The third prince and the white hat know each other?
So he asked, "Does the white hat have any other identity?" It can't be someone from the palace, right? ”
"Not really." Hogus shook his head and muttered, "Hmm... I wonder if Count Rett has heard of Karina? ”
It's a familiar name. Reiter remembered that when the Archduke Augustus of the Blue Diamond came to his domain and gave him a fine map when he was promoted to Earl, he mentioned this name, and replied thoughtfully: "It seems... Is it a water archmage? At the same time, he is also a painter of a very high level. ”
"Not bad." Hogus nodded and said, "Karina is the chief painter of the royal palace, I have been in contact with the royal family halfway, I have heard her talk about her previous experiences, and there is an unforgettable experience when she was young - when she showed her passion for painting, she met an enlightened teacher who taught her a lot of painting knowledge.
It's a pity that one day she didn't say goodbye, but it made her sad.
Karina even said that not being able to find her mentor was one of the biggest regrets in her life......"
"Well, I see, the White Hat and the Grand Magister Karina still have this experience...... "A flash flashed in Leiter's eyes, and he sighed: "In this way, the White Hat is indeed a great person." preaching and teaching, selfless dedication"
Hoggus looked at Reiter in surprise and gave a thumbs up: "It's a brilliant summary!" ”
In the evening, the long dining table in Darkrock Fort was already full of sumptuous dinners.
Because of the heavyweight guest of the third prince, LITE specially prepared a full feast of aquatic monsters, and now the aquatic monsters in Hanjing Lake have begun to take shape, with the number reaching nearly a thousand, which is enough to meet the occasional feast.
Fire streaked fish sashimi, steamed scallops, garlic scallops, shrimp and crab lasagna, white asparagus frosted shell crab roe soup, coconut milk fire streaked fish pineapple balls, seafood pie, seafood salad......
There are more than ten dishes in total, and Tucker's eyes are shining! If it weren't for Leiter's repeated instructions and emphasis, maintain an aristocratic demeanor and not lose his posture in front of distinguished guests, I am afraid that saliva would have flowed out a long time ago.
Even Thales, who had seen such a sumptuous aquatic monster feast for the first time in a long time, unconsciously licked his lips and had a great appetite!
But for the Hoggus and his party, it was a normal meal, and it was like this in the palace.
And for this level, feasts and gatherings are just formalities, what matters is the communication during the banquet.
In the midst of the light and shadow, Rett and Hoggus are talking and laughing.
One of the two has the intention of attracting talents, and the other has the intention of taking refuge in the big tree to enjoy the shade, and the words are harmonious and happy.
The atmosphere was harmonious, and the dinner was enjoyable.
In the middle of the night, Hogus and Reiter arrived at a rooftop connecting the secondary and main forts.
At first, it was Reiter who was driving around here to see the moon, but Hoggus arrived later and said with a smile:
"Count Rett is very elegant, enjoy the moon at this time!"
Reiter suddenly turned around and greeted, "Good evening, Prince Hotgas, will you be satisfied with today's dinner?" ”
"I am very satisfied, this is the best meal I have ever had when I left the palace." Hoggus said in a rather serious manner. Although the taste is really just average.
"Oh, that's great news, I'm going to give Chef Malu a bonus when I go back, and it's going to be the highest praise she's ever received!" Rett shrugged and smiled.
"You're a generous lord." Hoggus walked leisurely to Reiter's side, looked up at the moon, and suddenly said, "Count Reiter, I heard that you didn't renew the string after you came down from the battlefield?" ”
Leiter looked stunned, then showed a touch of sadness, and nodded slightly.
"I don't mean anything else, I just think that starting a relationship again may help you get out of the shadows, and your future is still very long and exciting, you can try and find another person to accompany you......" Hoggus persuaded him, if Rett agreed, he could introduce his faction, the most outstanding aristocratic eldest daughter, and in the future he was even expected to free up the power of a family.
"Prince Hogus, I appreciate my kindness, but I don't want to do it." Reiter replied softly. Not only does he not want to, but I am afraid that his three sons will not be happy to see him, and if he finds a strange woman, the atmosphere of the whole family will change.
Hoggus glanced at Leiter's side face and spread his hands: "Okay, it's all up to you." But I'm saying... Even if you don't find a wife, if necessary, I can introduce you to some stunning maids with devilish figures, and ensure that they are all superb. In your spare time, it's good to spice things up with a little more spices, you say? ”
Leiter was silent for a long time, shook his head and said, "There is no need to mention this kind of thing. Third Prince, the night is already very late, and I am going back to rest. ”
"Well, it seems that Count Reiter is really as dedicated as the legend says." Hoggus looked at the back of Leiter, who turned around neatly, and smiled helplessly: "I'm just trying to do it, I don't mean anything else."
Actually, I have something else to do with you......"
Isn't it good to say it earlier, you have to grind for so long...... The corners of Leiter's mouth, who was facing away from Hogus, twitched, and when he turned around again, his expression returned to normal, revealing a touch of doubt at the right time: "Prince Hogus, what else is going on?" ”
Hocgas took two steps forward, "I want to invite you to be my secret confidant, you will be the most potential genius in my department!" ”
This kind of crisp and neat way, LTECH has long been accustomed to this kind of time to be alone, often the more major the resolution, the less twists and turns, nonsense.
Leiter pretended to be surprised, his eyes widened slightly, and said:
"Prince Hogus isn't joking?"
"Of course not!" Hoggus looked serious and asked rhetorically: "Isn't Count Reiter confident?" Or is it not clear what you are worth?
Potentials like yours are fully qualified to be wooed by anyone. Even my older siblings, knowing today's situation, would have made such a choice.
But trust me, I'm more optimistic about you than any of them. Because I value not only your talent, but also your qualities, I believe that your joining is enough to make you and me have the brightest future in the future. ”
Leiter pondered for a long time, as if carefully considering, before he said seriously:
"Prince Hogus, you have the posture of a king!"
Hearing Leiter's words, Hoggus was obviously stunned for a moment, and laughed dumbly:
"Hehe, the king is too far away, my father is in the prime of life, and the long life span of the Holy Domain, there is no hope at all in the short term."
Reiter was silent, he couldn't say much on the subject.
Then Hoggus continued: "What is Count Reiter thinking about? ”
Reiter remained silent, unable to reply too quickly to arouse suspicion.
He looked pensive, his brow furrowed slightly, as if he was seriously considering the other party's invitation, and this state lasted for about ten minutes.
Hogus waited patiently.
Finally, Reiter stroked his chest and bowed and said, "Of course, I am deeply honored to be favored by Prince Hogus!" ”
The development of him and the territory, if he can get the help of a prince, will definitely speed up the process greatly!
Hogus's eyes lit up: "Congratulations to Count Reiter, you have made a choice that you will never regret in the future!" You will be my most important subordinate on the Southwestern Frontier. ”
"Really? We're here to help. Leiter said respectfully.
Hogus's face was full of joy, and with a wave of his big hand, he said arrogantly: "If you have any needs here, please feel free to mention it, and I will find a way to meet you." ”
This is what Leiter was waiting for, and although he knew it in his heart, he still pretended to be overjoyed, thought for a moment, and said:
"It would be nice if I could have a few alchemy talents, the alchemy power in my territory is still a little weak."
"Simple, when I return to the palace, I will send a few intermediate alchemists I have cultivated. A few years with you is sure to be enough to promote development! "Hoggus was very happy, on the one hand, he really intended to help Reiter. On the other hand, it is also to block LTECH's follow-up requirements, although the other party agreed to take refuge, but the loyalty still needs time to verify. He believes in Leiter, but it is impossible for him to give a bunch of benefits just by listening to the other party's words. The most reasonable choice is to support the relationship step by step as the relationship deepens......
Reiter showed a look of delight: "Thank you, Prince Hogus!" ”
"Hehe, it's just a trivial matter." The corners of Hogus's mouth curled, and he added: "In addition, I will send someone to bring you some aurora potions when I go back, you have such a good talent, you must cherish it, I hope to see you break through the Great Magister as soon as possible." ”
"Thank you!" Leiter's expression of gratitude was even greater, but he suddenly showed a hint of hesitation, and asked, "Can you give me some more moonlight elixirs and boiling elixirs, I still have three sons, and I also need to cultivate ......"
"Don't worry, I have thought about it, and I will send it together. In fact, the Moonlight Elixir and the Boiling Elixir were not valuable in the Royal City, including the rest of the inferior Elixirs. Wangcheng has gathered a large number of alchemy apothecaries, and the production capacity of low-grade potions has already reached a very high level. Hoggus said nonchalantly.
LETT thanked him again.
Then, the two chatted a few words around various topics.
Since in Hoggus's eyes, Leiter is already his own person, so he has a little less scruples when chatting.
So while chatting, he suddenly thought of one thing, which was closely related to the southwest border, so he asked:
"Count Reiter, I remember last year... You've returned to the Canyon Defense battlefield? ”
"Yes." Ray nodded.
Hocgas was silent and said, "I've heard... It seems that you have discovered a traitor hiding on the side of humanity?
Oh no, the mysterious man who gave you the note, telling you to be a traitor hiding behind you? ”
As a prince, he did have some inside information, and without waiting for Reiter's reply, he continued: "Now there are only you and me here, and I want to know the real situation." LTECH, are you sure... Did the mysterious man give you the note? ”
Leiter showed a look of surprise at the right time, and his brows immediately furrowed: "I'm sure, is there something wrong here?" ”
"Hmm." Hogus also frowned: "When I heard that when the commander of the Cold Current Defense Line heard about this, he also suspected you, suspecting that it might be a flaw deliberately sold by the orcs, just to cultivate a spy who can better penetrate the inside!" ”
"What?" Leiter's face changed slightly, and he couldn't help but exclaim, it is not a trivial matter to be labeled as a human traitor! If this misunderstanding is not cleared up in time, it will be like a time bomb, and it may explode one day and invite disaster.
"And then what did you say?" Rett asked, then said with a determined expression, "I can assure you that I have nothing to do with the orcs. Besides, I have been fighting on the front line for more than ten years, how can I be a spy for the orcs?
Ridiculous, ridiculous! ”
"Don't worry, I think so too, in fact, the speculation of the commander of the Cold Current Defense Line was quickly refuted by others, and the original discussion unanimously agreed that the probability of you being a spy is very small." Hogus shook his head, "Especially if I meet you in person today, it's even more impossible. How could a genius like you do something as promising as a spy? How could it be subdued by the orcs? ”
Hearing this, Reiter breathed a sigh of relief, "The royal family is wise! ”
Then, he still said uneasily: "So, can I know how far the royal family's investigation of the traitor has come?" And what kind of progress has been made?
I'm also curious as to who has such a great ability to develop traitors in our rear. ”
"I can reveal it to you, but you have to remember to keep it a secret!
At present, there are three speculations, the first is that the orcs are powerhouses in the sacred realm, covertly developing spies within our human race, such examples have not happened in the past, but they have not spread to the outside world. And it's not the Kingdom of Jinlun, similar things have happened in other kingdoms! Hocgas talked about the orcs, his brows furrowed unconsciously, and then he said: "The first possibility is the largest, and it is also the main direction of the current investigation, but I am not responsible for this matter, and I have no access to first-hand information. ”
Rett nodded thoughtfully, what Hoggus said made sense, and it was all secrets that he couldn't touch in the past.
"The second possibility may be that the Sacred Domain Demon Beast is playing ghosts. The Sacred Realm Demonic Beasts may also be transformed, although our human realm does not provoke the Saint-level Demonic Beast powerhouses, but there are not a few Demonic Beasts that die in the hands of humans every year, so the relationship between the two sides has never been harmonious. ”
This is a conspiracy theory, at least without clues and inferences...... Lei Te thought to himself, he also thought that the possibility of the Holy Domain Warcraft not ruling out ghosts!
"And what about the third one?" Reiter asked again.
But Hoggus didn't respond as quickly as he had just now.
Seeing that Hogus was silent, Leiter suddenly had a bold guess in his heart, even the orcs and monsters had doubted it, but there was still one biggest force that had not been mentioned!
He blurted out: "Is it possible that there is a ...... within the human race?"
Halfway through his words, he couldn't go on, and Leiter narrowed his eyes slightly.
"That's right, but the Sanctuary of our Jinlun Kingdom can be ruled out, even if it is a ghost, it can only be the Sanctuary of other kingdoms......" A cold color flashed in Hogus's eyes.
Reiter was the same enemy: "No matter what, those traitors deserve to die!" ”
"Yes, the most intolerable thing is internal traitors, each of whom is a certain death." There was a hint of coldness in Hoggus's voice.
Then, as if remembering something, there was a hint of hesitation on his face: "Leitt, that mysterious person, have you caught clues, such as body outline, voice, features, etc." ”
I know, his name is Goldfinger...... Reiter shrugged: "I don't have any clue, in fact, I'm also curious about who he is, does the royal family's investigation have eyebrows?" ”
"How is it possible, this is more difficult than finding a traitor, and it is also difficult to understand, it is precisely because of the peculiarity of this mysterious person that you were suspected in the first place......" Hogus shook his head.
Perhaps realizing that he had said a little too much, Hoggus exhaled lightly, looked at the moon and the stars, raised his eyebrows and said:
"Count Reiter, it's not too early, it's time to rest early. By the way, if that mysterious person contacts you, please report it to me! ”
"No problem!" Reit stroked his chest and said, "Good night, Prince Hogus! ”
"Good night, Count Reiter!" Hogus waved his hand and turned to leave.
Seeing Hoggus leave, Reiter looked up at the moon again, deep in thought:
"Nothing has been investigated? It's a good thing, and it's also convenient for the identity of the mysterious person to be really 'mysterious'. I always have a hunch that maybe I will have to use this identity again in the future......"
Hogus was in Reiter's territory and was only going back after three days, which was a little different from the simulation.
During this period, LTECH personally accompanied him and traveled around the territory.
Hoggus had told him not to reveal the news of his arrival, which was also to hide the secret relationship between the two.
On the third day, Reiter rode Hagrid, who had not ridden for a long time, and said goodbye to Hogus in person.
Hogus's mount is a flame armor dragon eagle, which has been flying in the sky, and at the moment it is ridden by Hogus under the crotch, handsome and powerful.
As the group reached a glade, Hogus stopped and turned to look at Reiter:
"Count Reiter, since you will stay here on the southwest border in the future, I still have some shadows laid down in the early years, which may help you."
When Leiter heard this, he asked with interest, "Who are they?" ”
"Actually, you still know this person, and it may surprise you to say it." Hoggus smiled slightly.
"I know? It can't be my family. Reiter said jokingly.
"Well, barely ...... it's right."
When the words fell, Leiter's smile suddenly condensed, but before he could speak, Hoggus was also afraid of causing a misunderstanding, so he shook his head and said:
"Carol, you must know this person, right?"
It turned out to be her...... Rett had a strange look on his face: "Of course, that's Gueret's wife, Krina's mother, of course I know."
Could it be that she is also your subordinate? ”
Hoggus's smile was a little vague: "That's right, Gueret's wife is someone I trained more than ten years ago, not a very important role, but she is also responsible for supervising the news of the noble circle in Breine......"
Reiter shook his head and sighed, "It's really deep hidden." ”
Then, with some curiosity, he asked, "How did Carol gather information for you?" Do you communicate with other noble ladies at gatherings? ”
"Of course, there are several more informants on the southwest border, and most of them are women. In this kind of lower-class aristocratic circle, it is much more convenient for noblewomen to collect information than men. They only need to develop some intimate relationships with some nobles, and it is easy to achieve their goals. Hogus smiled playfully: "After all, the intelligence here, all I want is a wide coverage." And using physiological desires, it is easy to achieve. ”
Hearing these words, Leiter was shocked in his heart and dumbfounded.
Trying to calm down, he looked at Hoggus with a pair of eyes, and said, "Could it be that Carol also uses what you said... A way to satisfy physical desires, to obtain information? ”
"Of course, there are other ways, but this is the simplest and most effective. You don't have to be shocked that none of those organizations with strong intelligence capabilities fail to do so. Hoggus raised his eyebrows and said casually:
"Even though you are already an earl, you have not personally participated in and felt the silver chaos in the aristocratic circle. If you want to vent one day, I can introduce you to the most enjoyable multiplayer sports, from bewitching ladies to young girls and even heroic or immature ducks. ”
"In fact, telling you Carol's secret child contains the idea that it can provide you with all 'services', whether it's intelligence, or... Other 'needs'. ”
"How's that, exciting?"
Stimulate you big-headed ghost...... Leiter complained in his heart, quite helpless. Although his cultivation will not be overturned because of this incident, he does feel sorry for his in-laws, and unknowingly became a green-haired turtle......
So, my instincts and assumptions were correct? Carol is really still cheating, and it's not one or two......
Leiter once again mourned in silence for his in-law Gueret, shook his head and said:
"No, Prince Hogus, I can't do anything like that with Klina's mother. If it were possible, I would even like you to give up Carol's shadow, lest Krina be heartbroken to learn the truth in the future. ”
The few guards around him, without orders, never interfered in these matters.
But listening to the conversation just now, these people have different thoughts.
Gerson was a little dismissive, "Life is in the world, and the ultimate enjoyment is worthy of this experience, sleeping with a woman, what's the big deal, of course, how to stimulate it." Timid as a hindrance, Count Rett is not sorry for this talent at all! ”
Zelos, the Great Demon Guide of the Earth System, flashed a trace of admiration in his eyes, "Not arrogant, not arrogant, not extravagant, not silver, this Count Rett has the excellent qualities of a person who has achieved great things, like Gerson, who lives for the crotch, and it will be like that for a lifetime, maybe the title of Crotch Knight is more suitable for him......"
