"What expedition?" Edward's brow furrowed.

"You don't know? Oh, yes...... It's not a covert order, but there's been some trouble with the recent magical correspondence, and yes, Lord Edward, I think you should be aware of our recent war with the Empire, and unfortunately, the last diplomatic mediation efforts with the Empire have failed, so the war between the two countries has now begun...... Again, although theoretically, this war has never ended. ”

The little nobleman was stunned for a moment, then sighed, and explained in the standard aristocratic style: "However, our brave warriors used their strength and loyalty to thwart the empire's invasion plan, achieved a series of victories, and now have recovered three cities that were once occupied in history, so His Royal Highness is ready to go to the front line to boost morale......"

But his explanation was interrupted before he could finish it.

"Out on patrol, is this guy's brain squeezing the door?"

Edward grinded his teeth, then noticed that his words didn't seem appropriate: "Well, anyway, what is His Royal Highness going to the front line to do?"

"Your Excellency Edward, you don't have to worry too much, with the help of the teleportation array, this is only a ceremony that can be completed in three days, and the soldiers mobilized this time are at least fifty thousand, even if it is an empire, it is impossible to make any unfavorable moves against His Royal Highness the crown prince under the protection of a city and an army of tens of thousands of people. ”

Apparently, Willian was indeed taken aback by the title, and he skipped it almost like a brain before he could reply.

"If you want to kill a person, you still need to mobilize a large army? Well? Also, you haven't seen those knights led by the imperial elector of the empire, right? If they make do with five or six hundred people, it may not be impossible to kill a ** division. That's in the case of a head-on battle. If you use some means, it will not be a matter of minutes. Edward sighed, "Forget it. That's what you're here for?"

"The Prince's patrol is a tradition in the Kingdom. It's impossible for him not to go, but it's not surprising that you don't know, after all, you little ones of your age have only encountered such a war since they were born. ”

This time, it was Villarian who was the birth, and she reached out and tapped the front wheel of the 'steam steamer' a few times, as if to estimate whether the thing could be cut under her sword, and then turned her head and said, "In short, this is already a very early rule, and it is the embodiment of the king's duty to protect the kingdom. Although he can't leave Romante lightly, as a prince, he must do his best for the country...... Of course, this is usually done by a less important prince, but you know, you can't let a prisoner come out of prison to do this kind of task. ”

Edward shook his head.

He remembered among the nobility. Indeed, there was an ancient admonition to send their offspring away from home—a tradition established by the nobility of the empire in the time of Isgandar, but this tradition has long since been disrespected by most families. After all, assassinations and accidents have caused too many outstanding noble descendants to die in the experience. Not to mention when the city is constantly expanding and absorbing more people. Travelogues and books are also gradually enriched, and wandering in the countryside will no longer bring more benefits, except for being able to sharpen the mind, it is meaningless, but it is not as good as the training of martial arts and the experience of the battlefield.

But the royal family is clearly an exception, and the glory and convenience of their status are by no means without a price—those obligations relative to power will bind them at all times.

Troublesome. But the important thing is. What does this have to do with me?

"According to the custom, most of the lords of the country have to follow or at least send an heir, which can be said to be a ritual. In order to show the loyalty of each lord to His Majesty the King, in addition, as students of the Academy, we are theoretically required to participate. Noticing the apprentice's expression, Willian could only explain with a wry smile.

"What if I'm absent?"

"This ......"

The words that were interrupted again made Willian stunned for a moment, he obviously didn't expect the other party to choose this directly, "Ah, of course, you can be absent, I think." He said with a strange expression, "Although I don't want to do this, unless you really can't get away from the study of magic. ”

"Well, it's actually pretty much the same, in fact, there are really a lot of things I need to deal with on my side, so it's just right for you to express my apologies to His Royal Highness. Edward laughed, "Oh, or you just haven't seen me." Anyway, His Royal Highness didn't send any messengers to me. I don't think he minds that. ”

Don't mind...... I hope so.

The information contained in this event may not be as simple as it seems—the psychic warlock doesn't even need to think about it to know there's something wrong with it.

This tradition is not observed, and now that James has gradually deepened his control of the kingdom, even if he makes one or two actions to break the rules, it will not attract too much attention. And now, it should still be the same Thomas who makes all the decisions in that palace - in terms of his plan, it seems that James should not be allowed to let this pawn out of his control casually, but this kind of tour will only give James a chance to leave the heavily guarded Romandy, which means that Yiqiē is not under his control.

Unless, what plan does he have to get James out of the Spell Academy's surveillance? So, in order to make sure that the qiē is smooth, will he arrange the qiē properly, or will he go to the surveillance himself?

Edward frowned deeply, he still didn't know enough about that Vice-Mentor, although the other party didn't show any hostility towards him at this stage, but he didn't intend to let things drag on like this all the time, after all, if there was no difference, there was still a fragment of royal power in the hands of the other party.

For Edward today, that's power. And that sub-mentor is a hidden threat, and if he has the opportunity, he will never mind killing the other party.

"Is it really proper to do this? How can a local lord despise the laws and traditions of the kingdom so much? Can you be regarded as a nobleman who has sworn allegiance to the king? Where is your glory? Where is your loyalty? Have you forgotten the oath you once made!"

The crisp voice made him raise his gaze, noticing that he had been standing aside without speaking. Another entourage of Villalian.

Edward raised his eyebrows, noticing the familiar figure - the paladin Yulia, the daughter of the Duke of Greenland, in fact, everyone's eyes were focused on her for a moment, with different feelings - Willian was urgent, and Villarian was a little helplessly doting.

"Ahem, shut up, Yulia!"

"I'm sorry, Edward, she's too temperamental. Well, a little blunt. And her understanding of the law is not tactful enough, so you don't take it to heart" noticed Edward's contemplative expression. The Swordmaster spoke apologetically, and at the same time stopped the junior's argument with a sharp look—in fact, the Female Paladin was glaring her pretty eyes round, if it weren't for Willian pulling hard at the sleeves of her robe. She might have stepped forward and rebuked the man in the loudest voice.

"It doesn't matter. In my hometown. There is a saying that a boy's personality is easily the same as that of an uncle, while a girl's personality is closer to that of an aunt. ”

Edward smiled slightly, and then couldn't help but quip, of course he wouldn't care about this girl's words, after all, the so-called loyalty was for him. It was just an old joke, just a psychiocrat's gaze, which unconsciously lingered on Yulia for a moment—the little girl's bluntness reminded him of Elena, once upon a time. The same is true of the girl, who has to correct every idea he has of breaking the rules.

So, he received a blow from the female sword saint as he wished, but this kind of attack did not break the defense at all for his wall-thick face.

In fact, the Psychic Warlock couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth, because Villarien's eyes were surprisingly coquettish—at least that was one of the few times Edward had seen her look girlish.

Although by the standards of this world, this Sword Master may indeed have passed the age of a girl, but if measured by age, then she is only in her twenties, and in Edward's standards, this is only the age between a girl and a royal sister.

"Well, let's get back to the previous topic, or should we congratulate you, there's no right to refuse. The smile in those eyes made Villarian unconsciously look away—at this moment, the female swordmaster seemed to feel that her heartbeat was a little unbalanced, she held the hilt of the sword, her gloves and metal rubbed a little creaking, and then raised her voice: "Because this time, according to the distribution of the lords' troops, you are a member of my brother's direct army, and the reason why I came back is to inform you of this order and take you back to restore your life." ”

"I remember that my territory should belong to the direct subordinate of His Majesty the King?"

"This time, the commander of the war zone is my elder brother, so everyone is under his unified command, and so are you. The female swordmaster laughed: "Although it is only a matter of form, at least you don't want to escape these days!" Also, can the batch of weapons and ordnance you promised us be delivered in advance? It can be of great use in the next attack. As long as we deliver ten units first, we can at least take two more cities ahead of the Blackhawks. ”

"Where is it so easy, do you think you are gnawing on a big lettuce?" This time the person who rolled his eyes was replaced by Edward, and he didn't know whether he was talking about making a crossbow or attacking the city, but after expressing his disdain, he reached out and made a gesture of please, leading the three of them out of this factory full of secrets, his spirit moved slightly, and the voice that only the two of them could hear sounded in Vilarian's ears: "Also, what kind of situation is it on the front line? It's only been ten days, so there won't be any big changes, right?"

"The difference that can be made in 10 days is not too small. ”

Villalian's face turned grim: "This time the situation is very interesting, the forces of the empire and ours are very intertwined, and because of the force that hinders teleportation, both sides are restricted to a relatively safe environment. Building on the Camino victory, Tumenes has won three times in the past 10 days, completely securing half of the border on the Camino line, but we did intervene a little later. The two cities in the direction of the empire were captured by the Blackhawk family. And the Demon Wolf Knights have now reached the front line, and last night's news was that they had achieved certain results and were attacking Cattoros. It wasn't a big city, but it was the most important gateway to the interior of the empire. ”

"Do you have any specific information about the prince's inspection this time......?"

"What do you want to do?" Villarien was stunned and glanced at him suspiciously, "You don't want to disadvantage His Royal Highness the Prince, do you?" ”

"I said miss. Where do you want to go?"

"Well, is it a misunderstanding?Anyway, in connection with your usual cousin......" The female sword saint chuckled, "To be honest, we really can't know about this about His Highness." It's all in the hands of the state mage,"

Wait a minute –

"Ahh It's not like you. They just didn't have much to do, especially this idiot, who was so excited since the marriage was decided that he didn't even go to the academy, just going around my little niece there. I'm just going to take him to see you and learn how a mage should be, oh, yes. I remember that you happened to be his apprentice, so I would like to take the place of the mentors and train this guy. ”

The female paladin was observing the surroundings with curiosity, so much so that she forgot about the dispute with the young lord - for her, the constant steam and clattering noise around her was so new and incredible, as the heir of a nobleman, she had not seen the miracle of magic creation, but the things in front of her were still too ......

Is it unimaginable, or is it just common sense?

The smooth street is lined with large two-story wooden houses with beautiful eaves that are lined up, and the adults and children standing on the side of the houses have satisfied smiles on their faces. This kind of scenery is not even seen in Gushan City, although the mansion of the family domain does have more and more beautiful buildings, many of which are made by famous architects, but compared to here, it obviously loses a sense of environmental appeal.

"I remember, you said he had only been given the territory for three months, and before that it had been a small village?" Raising her gaze, perched at the end of the street, on the blue-black tower that seemed to pierce the clouds, the paladin asked her companion.

"To be precise, this was once a barren, barren territory that yielded little except a few legumes, and those crops were usually only used as fodder for horses......" Willian's gaze was also looking to the left and right, but he was obviously more concerned about those: "Although it is the first time I have set foot here, I will still die."

Miss Yulia, the Holy Warrior, gave a look of disbelief.

It wasn't that she hadn't seen anyone in her family who had the talent for governance, but even the best of them couldn't have built a village into a medium-sized city in three or four months, even if the magical power of magic could create those walls out of thin air, but as the most important population of a city, as well as commercial exhibitions, it would take a considerable amount of accumulation to complete.

However, now this qiē has been presented before her eyes,

Indeed, that guy is a very powerful mage, although nominally he is only an apprentice now, his teacher is indeed one of the six most powerful ** masters in that spell academy...... Thinking of this, Yulia couldn't help but glance at Edward with some fear, the last time she was in Drum Mountain City, she had never shown any kindness to this young and excessively young guy,

Generally speaking, the root of a territory's prosperity comes from an increase in population. And the commercial activities that gradually become more frequent

There is a saying that only when you walk out the door can you see the world clearly...... But now it seems that this sentence is also true and incorrect, at least I think that in the apprentice's territory, there are things that may not be seen in other places on the surrounding Big 6.

"That's an exaggeration. ”

Edward laughed and patted the old friend on the shoulder - although the two have not known each other for a long time, this little nobleman is indeed one of his several real friends, (to be continued, please search for astronomy, the novel is better and faster!).
