The flames licked the bottom of the pitch-black pot, and the water rolled in the pot, and the water vapor came out of the pot and dissipated into the air. Not to mention, this stew smells really good.

"You know Lothar too?" I watched as he hooked an iron hook out a piece of meat from the pan.

"Of course." He took a bite and threw the meat into the pot.

"You've served in the military before?" I asked.

"Yes."

"And how did you get here?"

He didn't speak, got up and went out.

Dinner began in a strange atmosphere. Of course, I thanked him, and although it was true that his wine was not very good, it was a miracle that he could still drink it in such a place.

Eating and drinking, I was still thinking about how to thank him, when he asked me, "So you didn't completely defeat the orcs. ”

"No, and the prophecy is that they will make a comeback, and next time it will be even more tragic than this one."

"What does the king mean?"

"Our troops have withdrawn."

"Will they continue to encircle?"

"The reinforcements sent from the west were withdrawn before we left. It costs money to fight a war...... But no one wants to pay for it. Kings, dukes, lords...... The balance between them can easily be upset in war, and of course this is something that the king should consider. ”

Grayson looked at me with a frown.

"You should be a very responsible person." I say.

"What's the use of that?"

"At least you're a soldier. A person who also wants to protect the country and the people. I looked him in the eye and said with great sincerity, "There are fewer and fewer people like you." ”

He snorted, "I hate those nobles. ”

"Hmm...... Many of them are rich and unkind, and they are indeed hateful. ”

"When I was in the army...... He's a sailor. ”

"I thought you were from the Knights."

"No... I'm in the Storm Navy. ”

"Storm Navy ......" I looked at him in disbelief.

"Isn't it funny, have you ever seen the Navy?" He snorted viciously.

"I haven't seen it indeed...... Your ship. I said.

"But I'm in the Navy, and I've served in King's Harbor for many years." The expression on his face was ugly. "Those nobles should be damned!" He said. "Especially the Knights!"

"You seem to be a little prejudiced against the Knights."

He gritted his teeth and said, "He used to be a knight. He pointed to the skull by the wall.

"Him?" I frowned and looked at him quizzically.

"My great-grandfather...... It's the Knights. He lowered his head, "No...... At that time, it could not be called the Iron Horse Knights. ”

My mind was racing to figure out how to continue the conversation, and there was something in his words.

"You mean, in the beginning... When the Kingdom of Stormwind was first founded? ”

"Yes......" he said. At that time, it was not called the Iron Horse Brotherhood. ”

He suddenly raised his head and looked at me, "How do you know that it was when the country was first founded?" ”

"The Kingdom of Stormwind was founded by Fadil Soladin. And you have not been in power for a long time, we all know that. But the current king is not a descendant of Soradin. Hehe, the current king's name is Ryan. Ureon. I said.

"How do you know?"

"I'm a traveler, not only a soldier who can fight, but I also know a lot, like a lot of things in your country."

"Do you know how the Iron Horse Brotherhood was founded?"

"I don't know... All I know is that the deputy head of the regiment is Lothar. ”

"The predecessor of the Iron Horse Knights was called the Knights of the Storm of Soladin. And the original head of the Order was Lothar. ”

"Lothar...... How old is it? ”

"Lothar is his surname, and the original head of the regiment is the ancestor of the current Lord Lothar, called Albert Lothar." He said.

"I didn't expect you to be quite researched." I praised him.

"He used to be the flag bearer of the Order." He pointed with his thumb to the skeleton behind him, and the skeleton's two black hole eye sockets looked at us silently.

"So your ancestors were still nobles."

"That's a."

"And how did the Storm Knights become the Iron Horse Brotherhood?"

"The kings have changed, what else can't be changed?"

"What you say is right...... The kings have changed. "Speaking of which, it occurred to me that I must have seen his last name in the book. I remember exactly where I saw it, but I remember the last name - Sander.

"Your family...... Declined......" I tried to ask the question.

"Decline, of course." He looked at me, "The vocation of a soldier is war, and when there is no war, you lose its meaning." Just like you are now. ”

"Hmm......" I nodded.

"But sometimes it's not the end of the war, it's you who stand in the way of others!" His eyes were a little scary. "Kill you all the same."

"Uh......" I nodded again.

"Are you really curious to go out on an adventure?" He squinted at me.

I snorted my teeth. "I'll just say you're not a simple guy." I shook my head, "It's really not that simple, I came out to find someone this time." ”

"Hmm...... Who are you looking for? ”

"Anduin Lothar."

His narrowed pupils told me that the man in front of me was a little excited. "What do you mean?"

"He lost it." I spread my hands and said.

"Lost?" He repeated the word incredulously. "What do you mean to lose?"

"If you lose it, you can't find it." I say.

"How could he lose it?"

"How do I know!"

"Then why are you looking for him?"

I sighed and looked at him faintly, "I'm very interested in him." ”

"You'd better explain." His face tensed.

"Don't be nervous, huh...... It is said that he went out on a mission. And then it was lost, lost...... It's been more than half a year. I pouted and shook my head.

"Where did he go missing?"

"How do I know, if I had known, I wouldn't be in this place." I say. "Before I departed, the Queen entrusted me to look for him."

"So you are entrusted by the queen!"

"No, it's not." I said, "I rejected the queen." ”

"And what are you doing here?"

"I want to find him, I think...... I just wanted to find him. ”

The man in front of him shook his head, "No, you may not be able to find him...... The queen told you to find ...... Ha, missing, as the deputy head of the Knights, the most famous person in the kingdom, the person loved by the whole people, how could he be missing! He kept his head down, muttering.

"I can't believe it either."

"It must be framed!" He looked up at me sharply, "It must be!" He gritted his teeth and said, "He must die, only those who die will be at ease!" Do you know? ”

"No...... I...... I don't know. I looked at the man with some concern.

"No one knows about this, no one in the whole kingdom knows about it, and you won't know about it, yes, only I know, I ...... That's right, he's dead! Definitely framed! "He suddenly became a little crazy.

"Why do you say that? What happened? ”

"Wrynn! Murderer! Leorick! Murderer! Fortagan ...... Yes! Vortagen, this coward! This idiot! He even became a duke! He cursed to himself. I didn't stop him from seeing him like this, and I knew it was best not to break him off at this point.

"Murderer......" I didn't use a questioning tone, "Murderer Ureon...... The murderer Leorik ......"

"Nope! Leorik is an accomplice! The two of them are in a mess! In cahoots! Hateful! Shameful! He shouted. I squinted at Luke on the edge of the fire, who was casually nibbling on the pig's head.

"Who did they kill?"

"Lothar! King! Monarch Killer! They are kingkillers! He said.

"Lothar? How could they kill Lothar? ”

"King Philip, do you think he committed suicide?" He growled.

I stared at him in a daze, but my mind was racing back to the clues I had seen before. "This news is estimated to be known only to you in the whole country." I say.

"And that's true!" He looked at me, "Philip Lothar, as heroic as his father, but he lacks his father's wisdom!" It seems that Anduin is too! He said.

"This assessment is too ......"

"Too what? You think I'm slandering them? Ha! Outsiders, you don't know about Landon Ureon! At least that's what my father told me. He said solemnly.

"Your father......" I pouted and nodded. Was your father also a soldier? ”

"Of course!" He stood up and walked over to his great-grandfather's head and picked him up. "Our whole family is ......," he said, standing silently looking at the skeleton.

"It was Wryon who killed King Philip." He was silent for a moment and said. "Including the death of the archbishop in battle." He looked me in the eye, "Why should I work for such a family?" ”

"So you chose to be discharged?"

He fell silent again. I looked at his silly brother, "His name is Luke Sandall, right?" ”

"That's not how he was......" he walked over to the fire with the skull and sat down. He was framed. ”

I'm a little skeptical that what this guy is saying is imaginary. "Got into a conflict with someone?"

"Yes, he turned out to be the flag bearer of the Order, and after the death of King Albert, King Philip was the deputy commander of the Order."

I was taken aback by this statement. "He's ...... Deputy Commander? ”

"The name of the regiment commander at that time was ...... Igo Alexton. ”

I'm stunned, Alexton! Of course I know the name and will never forget it! Alexton...... Is it the Alexton from that Alexton farm in the West? ”

"You know him?"

"I ...... Slightly heard. ”

"Why did you hear about him?"

"They paid some money for this war...... "I lied.

"Holy God! Did this guy brainily tell his wife to sit on her ass? How could he pay for it? ”

I was momentarily speechless, "Uh...... How did Alexton's ancestors be regimental commanders? ”

"Igo, he was King Albert's deputy, when Albert was the head of the Knights, Igo was the deputy commander, and when the ancestors crossed the sea to this land, this young man showed great fighting talent."

I looked at him with a little surprise. "And then?"

"When Albert became king, he became the head of the Order."

"Why is their family ...... To the west? ”

"It is already a very precious thing to be able to get out of the political whirlpool and now ensure that the children and grandchildren are still alive!" As he spoke, he lifted his great-grandfather's head in his hand and twisted his face towards me. "Alexton Manor isn't far from here."

I almost screamed at the news. "Yes......" I suppressed my excitement. I'd love to meet this hero. ”

"Then you'll have to go underground to see him." He chuckled. "His children and grandchildren are still alive."

"Is his estate huge?"

"Of course."

"You all know your ancestors, why don't you go to them?"

"The Sandel family never asks for help, and the people of the Sandel family don't want to send people under the fence." He said.

"When did their family get here?"

"I don't know."

"Your ...... Great-grandfather. I gestured to the skeleton in his hand, "After the royal accident...... What happened? ”

"When something happened to the king...... They were not with the king. He said. That's what my father told me. ”

"What happened?"

"The soldiers were divided into three detours to prepare to outflank the group of gnolls, at that time, although King Philip was not alone and was not in a dangerous position, but there were not many troops around him, when Igo led the knights to outflank the rear of the gnolls, he led another infantry and cavalry team to make a feint. But...... Unexpectedly, the Gnoll troops appeared in front of the king's array. ”

"There was hardly anyone alive at the time...... "he looked at me coldly, "do you know what Wryon was up to?" ”

"Yes, Wrynn...... What is he......"

"He's a Praetorian General! Praetorian Guard! ”

"How did he survive?"

"His reinforcements didn't arrive! He didn't protect the king well! Grayson lowered his voice.

"I'm kind of ...... I don't understand...... He is a Praetorian Guard, how could he not be by the king's side? ”

"I don't know...... He told us...... The reinforcements brought by Urion did not arrive in time. He said, holding the somewhat blackened skull in both hands.

"After that......"

"The king is dead." He said.

And then ...... It was ...... Persecute? I pointed to the head in his hand.

"Hmph...... If you were Wrynn, would you keep him? ”

"Why did you put your great-grandfather's ...... The skull stays here......" I asked softly.

"One day, when the House of Urion is destroyed and Arathso's bloodline rules the country again, he will see it with his own eyes. If I die then...... My children and grandchildren will let him be buried in peace......"
