There are too many details of history that have been buried in the sand of time, and only those who need to study political characters will remember this name.

At this moment, in a tavern in the city of Price where they were going, a glass of cheap red wine was reflected in the dim kerosene lamp, and the dark red liquid like old blood swayed softly, glowing with an eerie orange light.

Prince Rey Vincent Electrocleix casually turned the glass, his hair reminiscent of fine black tea burning in the dim kerosene light, his emerald green eyes staring intently at the distorted figure on the glass. Suddenly, he stopped what he was doing, and the sound of tuk tuk footsteps rang in his ears.

"Why don't you go to rest?"

The man who came down a narrow staircase on the right-hand side smiled lightly, his soft silver hair tied casually and flung it over his shoulders, and there was a faint worry in his rare pale golden eyes, "Thinking about your father, Rey?"

“...... What do you mean, Star?"

His Highness Rey, or rather, Raven turned sideways and glared unpleasantly, "I said I had nothing to do with that man, and I didn't want to hear my name called in this country. ”

"I understand. Xing nodded and sat down on the small wooden bench next to the crow. There was only one glass on the rough wooden counter, and Xing directly picked up the glass, held it up in front of his eyes, and stared at the crow opposite through the glass, "King Vincent and the Inquisitor of the Wizard Alliance have come to this city, and the Holy Flame has told you, right?"

"Well, he did. The crow glanced at his mouth, as if he didn't care, "That bastard of the Holy Flame, he threw the eldest lady to me and ran away, and said that he was our strong backing...... Even if there is a fight here, with the power of his Augustan Chamber of Commerce, can he still be ordered to die here?"

"The Holy Flame also has the work of the Holy Flame to do. Xingle cheered, "To settle those townspeople of Taka Mo, it is not enough to rely on scholars and dragon teeth, and as the head of the Chamber of Commerce, Holy Flame can't make their identities public, but it can also provide a lot of convenience." To get to Arcatia, you have to cross a desert. ”

"Then why don't you and the eldest lady help?" the crow looked even more unpleasant.

"I, hehe, I'm very relieved about the Holy Flame. It's ...... you," the smile on the corner of Xing's mouth seemed to have a different meaning, "It's been more than two years, and you've never thought of coming back." ”

This sentence is not a question, but a declarative sentence that lands soundly. The crow's expression darkened for a moment, but then he snorted softly and turned his face away.

"I can't let that crazy woman who thinks she is so great stay alone in a place where there is going to be a war!" the crow's voice showed undisguised contempt, "she actually told me that she wanted to see what Slos looked like! Have you ever seen such a psychotic woman? She is still a nobleman of the Kingdom of Phadrand! An ignorant nobleman like her! As long as a scholar does not look at her, she will cause trouble for me! What kind of business is it for a Duke of Fartland to run into the kingdom of Ola!"

"Well, as a nobleman, you seem to be like her. Xing added faintly.

The crow suddenly put away all his expressions.

"What are you trying to say, star, there's no way I'm going to see Vincent. ”

The crow didn't turn his gaze to the star, he stared at the dense dark brown wood grain on the counter, the kerosene lamp wick beeping, "I've already ...... It has nothing to do with him anymore. ”

"Hmm. ”

Xing didn't refute the crow's claim, he raised his glass and took a small sip. The wine was worse than what he had drunk in the tavern of the Kingdom of Farland, but there was not a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

It's nice to have a drink in this place.

This is the city of Price, located in the northern part of the kingdom of Aura, and is also a military fortress. Price City is located in the middle of the mountains, facing the 40-meter-wide Price Bay, which is difficult to capture. Due to the topography, the river in Price Bay is turbulent all year round, and it will not freeze even in the cold winter, and at this time, the chain bridge on the river has long been retracted, and it is difficult for even the demons to cross the river in a big way.

The city wall more than ten meters high is heavily guarded at all times, and there are turrets at intervals on the city wall. After the New Magic Revolution, all of those turrets were replaced with magic crystal cannons with long black barrels, which could not only attack the city walls, but also launch non-stop magical attacks into the sky. By the time the puppet army of the Wizard Alliance arrives, the city will be impregnable.

Looking at the turrets studded with various magic crystals, and then looking at the state of the city, one would think that the kingdom of Aura had used all its limited new magical resources for armaments.

The night in the city was dark. Many of the inhabitants of small villages and towns have retreated to Price City to escape the menacing demons. However, the city is not rich at all, and there are not even the basic magic crystal street lamps on the streets, only soldiers patrol around with small magic crystal lanterns. In these special circumstances, residents are not allowed to go out at 6 p.m., and all the shops are locked. The Augustan Chamber of Commerce has several taverns, inns and shops located here.

The "House of the Cedar Grove", where Raven and Star are located, is one of the taverns of the Augustan Chamber of Commerce, and is a very ordinary tavern and inn - if there are not a few special people living here.

"I really don't know what Slos wants to do. ”

After a moment of silence, the raven raised her hand to her cheek, "She thought she could take Ora?"

“...... The taste was ok. Xing looked at the liquid swaying in the wine glass, and casually commented, and after noticing the crow's reproachful gaze, he smiled apologetically, "Well, did you say Sloth? ”

There was silence again.

"Star, you know Sloth better, don't you?"

"I don't know her very well, but I know a little bit about it...... This attack is very similar to the battle on Messiah Island four years ago. The star shook the wine glass, and the glittering luster was like a handful of brilliant stars, "Slos's purpose should not be to have a head-on conflict with humans. ”

"And what does she think?"

In the eyes of the stars, a clear light flickered.

"I'm just guessing. Sloth may have wanted to lure someone in...... As the Seventh Demon General, she suddenly came to a land far away from the Seto Continent alone, maybe she has her own personal purpose......"

"That isn't you, is it?" the crow unconsciously turned his face to look at the star's expression.

"Will it?" Xing smiled indifferently, "I said it was just a guess. Your Highness Rey, if you really care about the fate of this country—"

The wine glass in Xing's hand was suddenly taken away.

The crow gave him a huffing look, and poured the rest of the wine from the cup into his mouth as soon as he tilted his head. Xing looked at him like a wayward child, smiled again, and shook his head helplessly.
