Martell told Eren some secrets that he didn't know, and before that, Eren knew that the Okmos family had a certain influence on the Imperial army, and even some of the clansmen served in the Imperial Cavalry, which was considered to have some military power.

But he didn't think that his father, who first relied on military exploits to obtain the title of earl, and then launched a war of honor, killed his brother and seized the title of Earl of Campbell, but carved out a new part of Okmos's original fixed power.

According to Martell, the orcs from the west of the empire invaded the empire, and Ion the Great, who was still a prince at the time, led an army to war, and his father won a lot of military success in this war and won the trust of Ion the Great, who was still a prince at the time.

The old unit was reorganized into a secret army, which was responsible for dealing with assassinations, mainly for external use, and formed a complement to the night watchmen who were responsible for maintaining stability.

"In fact, this army can also be regarded as having the name of the Night Watchman, which is a historical legacy, after all, Emperor Ion was still a prince at that time, and it was necessary to be attached to form an army, and it couldn't be so obvious. But with his accession to the throne, the army also began to become active. ”

"Speaking of which, it is precisely because of this that when I knew that you became a night watchman, I didn't think much about it, thinking that it was someone with a heart, or simply your father's arrangement."

"At present, this is a very important force, and one thing that Emperor Ion probably did not anticipate is that your father is not anyone's loyal dog, so this army has gradually been transformed into your father's force, and it is even called the private army of Okmos."

Martell sighed.

And Iren felt like listening to a story, and couldn't help but think, I originally thought that my ice-faced dad was already very awesome, but I didn't expect him to be awesome beyond my imagination.

Martell sighed lightly: "Your father's political position is balance, he is out of the status of the emperor's confidant, and does not participate in any disputes, but will deal with any transitional disputes in a timely manner, and the evil deeds caused by the time, so because of this, his existence is needed by all." ”

"Up to now, in fact, many discerning people can see that even if the emperor was indeed dissatisfied with your father at the beginning, but now he has recognized that your father's existence is necessary, after all, what he wants is innovation, not to turn his country into a pile of ruins in the process of competing with the traditionalists."

"And the traditionalists just want to maintain their rights, and the wise nobles feel that this is just a normal political contest with the emperor, but it is inevitable that some irrational people will do some stupid things, so some of the big nobles also acquiesce to the existence of your father."

Iren frowned, and after listening to Martell's story, he made his own judgment in his heart, It seemed that his father was standing tall, but in fact he was already in a very delicate position.

And did he really become a neutral for the sake of stability?

Thinking of the current reigning Emperor Ion, after succeeding to the throne, he made "Urban Reform and the Establishment of New Cities" and "Civilian Household Registration", as well as a series of reforms such as strengthening commercial circulation and establishing closer trade with other countries, it is enough to see that this is a very long-term vision.

So in this way, his father became a neutral, wasn't he really secretly instructed by him?

Iren pondered for a moment and then spoke: "According to Uncle Martell, what my father did was actually needed by the reformists and traditionalists supported by the Emperor, so why did they intervene in the battle for the next count?" ”

Martell said helplessly:

"This is probably because, many people speculate that that army will be passed on to the next earl, and such a huge force, even if reason knows that it should not be touched, but people are so greedy, greed will suppress reason."

"And most importantly......"

Martell paused for a moment, and then said with some embarrassment: "That is, your father can maintain the balance between the two factions, it is because he is him, he is the legendary earl, and he is also a rare outstanding person among the previous earls of dragon eyes, who dares to guarantee that the next earl can still do everything he does, and even ...... Can you still hold your ground? ”

"Now those brothers and sisters of yours, including the current countess, are standing behind some big nobles and big forces, but I don't know the specific things, they are all well hidden."

"I'm not even sure if the person from the imperial capital has personally ended up."

After Martell finished speaking, she gave Eren a moment to think calmly.

Iren silently absorbed this information, and he finally understood why Theodore said that he was naïve, and felt that he was destined to participate in the battle for the title, and he also knew part of the truth.

He suddenly said with some confusion: "But, why didn't I have anyone to win over before?" ”

Martell looked speechless and said, "Think about it, hasn't anyone hinted at you?" How many people have hinted at you, including me, that if you show interest in that position, but what about you? ”

Eren smiled awkwardly, it was true.

The reputation of not being interested in that position didn't spread out for no reason.

"Anyway, if you really don't have an interest in that position, just join the Heas Academy. The Heas Academy is the largest transcendent academy in the Empire, and it is about to open again, take refuge in Dean Soins, this legendary mage will protect you, so that you are equivalent to having the protection of two legendary mages, enough to keep you alive smoothly. ”

Martell shrugged.

Eren thought that the last time he traveled to the future, he stayed in the Heas Academy in that timeline, and he thought that there was a reason for this.

"I see......"

……

Four more days passed in a flash.

Iren returned to the castle, and the fact that he was attacked made the Count who was still in the castle very angry, and a large number of private troops of the Okmoth family were dispatched, and the shadow bird and a small magical beast unique to the Northlands flew all over the sky, back and forth.

The letter from Earl Horn of the Dragon's Eyes was transmitted to various territories, and most of the nobles in the entire northern land began to become active, and these irascible old buddies in the ice and snow, whether it was for the face of the Earl of Dragon's Eyes, or for the common honor of the nobles, to prevent their bloodlines from suffering the same thing.

In short, the whole Northland became slaughtered.

Grand Duke Sigoa of the North. The Winter Legion, which belongs to the Acmonton family, swept through the Northlands and uprooted some of the hidden dark organizations in the Northlands.

When Iren occasionally visited Campbell, he saw some prisoners being escorted, tied up outside the city, purified by the priests, and their bodies burned to ashes by the mage's flames.

The master alchemist, the halfling Bass, told Eren the news.

"Now people everywhere else say that the nobles of the Northlands are crazy, you don't know, now the whole of the Northlands is crazy, the killer organization Immortal Dawn, the Witcher's Grey Prison, the Fallen Druid's Church of Natural Revelation...... These dark organizations have suffered heavy losses in the Northland. ”

"It's not as simple as your father avenging you, you know? The Grand Duke of the North, who had been silent for nearly a decade, suddenly took over and led the purge of the Northland, which had a completely different meaning. ”

"I'm afraid something big is going to happen in the Northlands, and you don't remember Verin who has left. Axmonton, this little girl is the only bloodline in the face of the Grand Duke of the North, and the Grand Duke is likely to start building momentum for her to inherit the next duke. ”

"Your father's move happened to give him an excuse to make a move."

Buzz said in amazement.

In his opinion, no matter what, Iren's reputation will definitely be even louder, and this will affect the entire Northland men, he joked: "Now, you are really a legend, my young master Elen!" ”

Eren was silent after hearing this, his father was used?

Thinking of the fact that he had only left the day before yesterday and said goodbye to him in his castle, it was obvious that it was Verin, who had met his father again, that he did not believe that his father did not know about it!

It is even said that this is what he did intentionally.

"A little girl, it's not good to hold a doll at home, what kind of political game do you play?"

Ilyen complained about Verin in his heart, but his expression was very calm, and he was not dissatisfied with the fact that he was being used, but silently withdrew a large amount of gold and magic materials from the butler, and unsurprisingly, these applications were approved.

After receiving the things that were sent, Eren silently handed a piece of paper to the smiling old butler.

"A space item, as well as eight industries in the imperial capital, as well as ten ninth-level spells, plus thirty boxes of golden eagle coins, thirty boxes of magic materials, and one ...... Demigods? Master Iren, this ......"

The old butler's expression froze a little, and he looked down at the paper in his hand that was written on Iren's request, then at Elen, and then at the paper in his hand.

Eventually, he pushed his monocular eye to make sure he wasn't hallucinating.

"I think your request should be a little changed, and I have already sent you three boxes of Golden Eagle Coins, as well as two boxes of magic materials, which not only contain the heart and feathers of the treasured Demon Beast Aurora Bird, but also the magic crystal of the mutated third-order Winter Wolf King, and the manuscript of Temerich, known as the Alchemy Sage, these are all very precious items."

"So, do you want to try to use it up first?"

Although as a housekeeper, he was not qualified to care what the nobles' wealth was used for, but as an old man who watched Yi Lun grow up, he still made a kind reminder, he felt that it was already a very rare thing that the previous batch of resources could be agreed by the earl to be handed over to the third young master.

"Alright, Grandpa Hans, just tell my father."

determined that he was a father and would not take the initiative to compensate himself, but he didn't mind that he would take care of what he wanted, and decided to dig up a lot of money from his own family.

This is my own exchange for safety, and I don't have any hypocrisy, okay?

And how reasonable his requirements are, he didn't ask for an artifact out of his own strength!

He had determined that this was a reason for Earl Horn to offer the Archduke of the North to take action, and the Grand Duke of the North had cleared the Northlands, not only providing a safer environment for his daughter's travels, but also reinventing the prestige of the House of Acmonton and intimidating the rest of the Empire.

In the province of Delinossus in the Northlands, the Winter Legion, a 20,000-strong army, even broke out into a major battle with the legendary leader of the Grey Prison Society.

In the end, the president of the Gray Prison Society escaped with serious injuries, and the vice president, Mu Bo, was captured alive.

The Grey Prison Society is a dark organization composed entirely of witchers, who become stronger by eating the flesh and soul of monsters, evil spirits, and demons, but nearly two thousand years ago, the demise of the White Tower, the largest organization of witchers, caused the Grey Prison to appear.

At the beginning, the witchers of the White Tower were involved in the collapse of the Second Dynasty, and most of the members died.

The white tower used to hold the gray prison of the captured prey, the jailers in it survived, and these surviving white tower witchers, despite all restrictions and taboos, ate all the creatures imprisoned in the gray prison, which made the group of witchers strong, but also made their spirits crazy.

Acting in a radical and evil way, as the Witcher system had been almost exclusively in the White Tower until then.

Therefore, this most orthodox demon hunter organization was eventually reduced to a dark organization and suppressed by various forces.

In the end, it evolved into the current Gray Prison Society, which in this era is already a completely evil organization, such as the arrested vice president, who has the title of Heart Eater and loves to eat people's hearts.

Eren still remembers that when he was a child, when his mother was still alive, he often used the legend of the Mind Eater Mubo to intimidate himself, leaving a heavy psychological shadow on Elen, who had not recovered his memory at that time and was only slightly more mature than ordinary children.

So Iren's current state of mind is still quite strange......

Anyway, it feels like a wonderful thing to arrest the creator of the psychological shadow of his childhood.

Half a day passed.

Hans, the old butler, went and returned, and he looked at Eren with a look of amazement.

Then he handed Eren a ring.

It is a ring made of magic gold, an extremely expensive alchemical product, and is inlaid with a white hedron.

"This is the Void Ring of Nords, you can call him the Void Ring, it was made by a nobleman of Okmos, and the material is made of space stones cut from the space cut from the plane, and it has a decent storage space."

"However, your request is not fully satisfied, and there is only one title deed to the One-Horned Forest Opera House in this ring, and the Earl says it is yours."

"As for the rest of ......"

Hans, the old butler, showed a somewhat strange expression and said, "...... Lord Count says that you can try to grab it from the temple of the silver-haired lady and the Lord of Patrony. ”

"Ahem, ahem, ahem......"

Iren, who was drinking water, choked suddenly.
